Question
Why does my baby have frequent diarrhea with foamy stools, and what should I do about it?
Answer
Foamy stools in a baby can be caused by indigestion, catching a cold, or bacterial infection. Since babies have underdeveloped digestive systems due to their young age, these factors can affect their nutrient absorption and healthy growth. It is recommended that parents monitor the baby’s diet, and if the baby is breastfed, the mother’s diet should also be taken into consideration. Additionally, keep the baby’s abdomen warm to prevent catching a cold. If the situation persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment.
