Question
Newborns often have irregular bowel movements, mostly diarrhea, and the condition does not improve after breastfeeding.
Answer
Newborns’ gastrointestinal function is not fully developed and may have difficulty digesting certain components in breast milk. If the baby’s mental state is good, symptoms usually improve after the first month. It is recommended that mothers maintain a balanced diet, get adequate rest, and stay in a cheerful mood to ensure the quality of breast milk.
