Question

Answer
The initial food a one-year-old baby eats when having diarrhea, along with the nature of the stools, may be caused by indigestion. Is the baby currently being breastfed or fed a mixture of breast milk and formula? Based on the appearance of the stool, there is still indigestion present. You can give the baby probiotics orally, twice a day, with each dose being one packet. Take lactic acid bacteria tablets three times a day, with each dose being one tablet. Gently rub the baby’s navel area with your palm about 300 times a day. Pay attention to keep the abdomen warm.
