Question
Why does my baby have diarrhea, which is loose and occurs as many as 7-8 times a day?
Answer
The reasons for a baby’s diarrhea can be varied, including dyspepsia, enteritis, imbalanced gut flora, abdominal cold, or improper diet. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause and treat according to the condition. If your baby’s weight has increased normally compared to birth and there are no other discomforts besides the diarrhea, you can consider giving your baby some intestinal regulating medications such as Mamylove, Simeta, or attapulgite powder. At the same time, make sure to keep your baby well-warmed and avoid abdominal cold.
