Question
The baby’s first feeding was breast milk from a one-and-a-half-year-old mother. Will it cause gastrointestinal discomfort for the baby? The baby is now three months old and has been having diarrhea all the time. They have seen many doctors and had stool tests, and have taken quite a few medications without seeing any improvement. Could this be related to the first feeding? The nurse said it was not allowed.
Answer
Based on your description, if you have been breastfeeding, the baby may be experiencing physiological diarrhea. It’s not very related to the first feeding. It is recommended not to worry too much; probiotics can help adjust the intestinal flora, and you can also try lactase as it may be lactose intolerance. This is a suggestion for the question ‘Will drinking another mother’s breast milk cause gastrointestinal discomfort in newborns?’ I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
