Question
My baby is 11 months old and had diarrhea for a week. Now that it has stopped, the baby is constipated. The baby is also having difficulty urinating, crying loudly, and sweating profusely. What’s going on? I’m in a hurry. I had to use a lubricant enema tonight to get the baby to defecate, and there was quite a bit of blood. What should I do? Is this normal?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to pay attention to hygiene when breastfeeding, ensuring that the nipples are clean as well as maintaining hand hygiene after the baby’s bowel movements. Since the baby’s stool may be affected by breast milk, mothers should also pay attention to a balanced diet, consume appropriate amounts of food, avoid fried and junk food, maintain a regular eating habit, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink less cold drinks. You can give the baby a dosage of Bifidobacterium Triple Live Yeast Powder, 1 packet per time, twice a day, taken with warm water half an hour after breastfeeding.
