Answer
There are many reasons for diarrhea in young children during winter, including viral infections, changes in climate, or unclean diet. Pay attention to whether the baby is catching a cold or consuming unclean food. When experiencing diarrhea, be mindful of the diet and ensure that used utensils such as bottles, nipples, and small bowls are promptly cleaned and disinfected. Remember to change diapers frequently and wash with clean water after each urination or defecation. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If diarrhea occurs frequently, it may be related to formula milk, and consider switching to a formula that protects gut health.
