Question
What should moms pay attention to when their baby has diarrhea and breastfeeds?
Answer
The symptoms of diarrhea in babies are mainly caused by viral infections, leading to fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It is recommended to treat the symptoms promptly and use oral rehydration salts to reduce the risk of dehydration. In terms of diet, the nursing mother should focus on a light, non-greasy diet, and provide high-protein, high-calorie foods, but avoid consuming too much monosodium glutamate to prevent calcium deficiency. Additionally, the baby should not be given eggs, as high-protein foods may worsen diarrhea symptoms.
