Question
Does breastfeeding baby diarrhea have anything to do with breast milk?
Answer
If there are lumps in the breasts during breastfeeding, but there is no redness, swelling, pain, or fever, it is usually due to insufficient baby suckling causing milk stasis. It is recommended to frequently let the baby suckle the breasts. During the postpartum period, the baby’s bowel movements are more frequent. As long as the baby does not cry or become restless and remains in good spirits, and does not affect growth and development, the condition will usually improve gradually after the postpartum period. If the baby’s buttocks are chapped, it may be due to eczema caused by frequent bowel movements. In recent days, it is important to frequently feed the baby, clean the buttocks with warm water after each bowel movement, and apply baby eczema cream. If there is no improvement, seek medical attention and a follow-up visit promptly. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
