Questions
My daughter was born about thirty days ago, and she has recently started showing symptoms of diarrhea. What could be the cause of this?
Answers
Firstly, please remain calm. Newborn diarrhea can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. Physiological diarrhea usually occurs shortly after birth, with an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, and the stools may appear yellow or yellow-green. As long as the baby is growing well and there is no weight loss, there is no need to worry in this situation. If the baby is fed too early or in excessive amounts with congee or porridge, it may lead to diarrhea due to an excess of carbohydrates.
