Question
How to solve the problem of a baby continuously having diarrhea?
Answer
Infants’ gastrointestinal systems are not fully developed, making them susceptible to external factors that can disrupt their digestive function, leading to diarrhea. It is recommended to increase the frequency of changing diapers to reduce gastrointestinal pressure. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid consuming spicy, greasy, and other irritating foods. For babies on mixed or formula feeding, ensure the formula is completely dissolved before feeding. Also, pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm and administer probiotics and montmorillonite powder to regulate the gastrointestinal system. Proper care of the baby’s buttocks skin is important as well; clean with water after each bowel movement and apply Vaseline or other diaper rash creams.
