Question
Newborns often have some feces each time they change diapers, sometimes even all water-like, with feces in a scaly shape. The baby’s love for mom has no effect. Is this a problem with breastfeeding or is it due to the mother’s overly rich diet?
Answer
There are many possible causes of baby diarrhea, which may be due to dyspepsia or improper feeding, or possibly caused by exposure to cold. This condition may be related to the mother’s diet, and can be treated with oral Chinese medicine such as infantJianpi San (Yi Pan San) or lactase enzyme preparations, while also ensuring warmth.
