Question
The baby has had diarrhea for one to two weeks now. We’ve seen a doctor and had enemas, but the condition has been fluctuating between good and bad. We’ve been giving the baby Simethicone Montmorillonite Powder for three days now. There was one day when it slightly improved, but now it has started again. At its worst, the baby had diarrhea seven to eight times a day. I’d like to know how to assist in this situation?
Answer
Hello: I believe your baby is suffering from diarrhea caused by dyspepsia, as infants’ digestive systems are not yet fully developed, making them prone to dyspepsia. I suggest giving your baby oral Mommy Love and Intestine-Supporting supplements, drinking plenty of warm water, feeding breast milk in small, frequent amounts, avoiding overeating and binging, and ensuring the mother’s diet is light and easy to digest. Avoid cold, hard, and spicy irritant foods. The baby can be given congee and egg yolks as complementary foods, which have astringent effects. The baby should be kept warm and avoid catching a cold, especially around the abdomen. I hope my answer can be of help to you.
