Question
A three-month-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea six to seven times a day over the past few days, with loose and yellow stools, and bubbles on the surface of the feces. The parents are worried about the baby’s health condition and are asking whether they can alleviate the baby’s diarrhea through diet.
Answer
Based on the information provided by the parents, a three-month-old baby experiencing diarrhea six to seven times a day may be due to lactose intolerance. If the baby is not breastfed but is on formula, probiotics may be needed to adjust the gut flora. Bubbles on the surface of the stool may be due to the baby consuming too much wind (gas) or the mother eating too many starchy foods. Adjusting the diet usually helps improve this situation. These are the suggestions for handling the question “How to handle a three-month-old baby’s daily diarrhea six to seven times?” I hope these suggestions are helpful, and wish you and your family health.
