Question
A breastfed baby is experiencing an increase in stool frequency and milk curd. What could be the cause, and how can it be prevented?
Answer
Abnormal baby stool may be caused by poor digestion. Pay attention to the baby’s mental state and observe if there are signs of crying and restlessness. If so, it is advisable to test the stool promptly to determine if there is an infection, as the treatment method will vary. If the baby’s mental state is good, ensure warmth and pay attention to the mother’s diet. The mother’s diet should be mild and light, avoiding greasy foods, and probiotics can be given.
