Question
A few days ago, our 8-month-old baby had diarrhea. We had initially sought traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which seemed to improve the situation, but today the baby has started to have loose stools again. Is this related to the weather or perhaps due to consuming leftover milk that was reheated? The baby’s diet is normal, and there are no other abnormalities.
Answer
Diarrhea in babies can be caused by various factors. With the recent autumn season, vomiting and diarrhea symptoms are more common. Generally speaking, as long as leftover milk is properly stored in the refrigerator and not contaminated, reheating it usually does not cause diarrhea.
