Answer

We believe that a nursing mother can change her baby’s diapers while having diarrhea. For situations like yours, we advise you not to worry or panic excessively and you can continue with regular diaper changes. However, if you have diarrhea, you will need to actively implement strict treatment (such as rehydration, for instance).
