Question
The newborn suddenly developed diarrhea and continued to cry in the afternoon. How should it be alleviated?
Answer
A newborn’s digestive system is not fully matured, which may lead to diarrhea. The crying could be due to indigestion or hunger. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital as soon as possible. If that’s not possible, try feeding the baby in small, frequent amounts, but pay attention to the feeding frequency and adjust according to the baby’s condition. These suggestions may help alleviate the issue of “newborn diarrhea,” and wish your child a speedy recovery.
