Question
What should I feed my baby who has diarrhea and no appetite?
Answer
For a baby experiencing diarrhea and loss of appetite, it’s recommended to not overfeed them to alleviate the burden on their digestive system and prevent digestion issues caused by overeating. Offer your baby light and easily digestible foods such as porridge, green vegetables, and fruits, but in moderation. At this stage, the baby’s gastrointestinal system is not fully developed, making it prone to absorption problems. It’s suggested to give the baby two stomach cleansings per month, considering the use of Chinese herbs like chicken gizzards or Wang’s Baohu Wan.
