Question
The child doesn’t know what’s wrong and has been having diarrhea all day. No matter how much we look at it, it doesn’t seem to get better now, and they are six months old.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the baby has been suffering from persistent diarrhea since birth. If the baby is breastfed exclusively, the possible cause could be lactose intolerance. In this case, increasing the frequency of breastfeeding can be helpful. For lactose intolerance, there is usually no need to worry or administer medication, as it does not affect the baby’s growth and development or intellectual development. At this point, it is important to start paying attention to introducing complementary foods.
