Question
What to Do When a Baby Poops After Feeding?
Answer
Not many babies experience this, but sometimes they can have up to three bowel movements within 10 minutes after feeding, with diarrhea that’s as thin as water. Sometimes, the stool contains milk residue. Previous treatment and outcomes: The baby was hospitalized for a week and received intravenous fluids. Starting from the fourth day of the IV treatment, there were some bowel movements. Suggestions for help: What could be the cause? If the baby’s stool test shows no infectious factors, it’s likely a physiological diarrhea, which is not serious. If there are milk residues and signs of dyspepsia, you can give the baby infant digestive powder. Generally, physiological diarrhea will ease after the baby starts eating complementary foods. If the baby is formula-fed, consider switching to a non-upsetting formula. Best wishes.
