Question
A 2-month-old exclusively breastfed baby has bowel movements 6 to 8 times a day, with yellow curd-like stool, occasionally accompanied by stringy substances, and occasionally releases a few droplets of stool during farts. The feeding interval is between 2 to 4 hours, with each feeding intake of 80 to 130 milliliters. How should this diarrhea situation be handled?
Answer
If the breastmilk-induced diarrhea does not affect the baby’s development, there is no need to switch to formula milk or seek treatment. It is recommended to feed the baby some water or rice gruel.
