Question
The baby is breastfed and is now two and a half months old. Diarrhea occurs frequently, and the baby also refuses to drink milk, which has been going on for 8 days. The diarrhea contains milk curds and water. How should it be handled?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea may be caused by dyspepsia, possibly due to the mother consuming too much fatty pork, which can lead to an excess of fat in breast milk. It is recommended to use probiotics, lactase, or pepsin oral solutions to promote absorption. At the same time, you can use montmorillonite powder to stop diarrhea and protect the intestinal mucosa, with the dosage adjusted to achieve the desired effect. The mother’s diet should focus on nutrition, lightness, and easy digestion, avoiding excessively greasy foods and cold foods such as oranges, tangerines, grapes, watermelons, bananas, etc. Also, frozen foods should be avoided.
