Question

Can breastfeeding continue when a baby has diarrhea?

Answer

Hello, breastfeeding can continue when a baby has diarrhea. Diarrhea does not prevent breastfeeding, as long as no contraindicated medications are taken, there should be no adverse effects. Pay attention to staying hydrated and avoid catching a cold. Breast milk contains ample nutrients that are easy to digest and absorb, including some immunoglobulins, making breast milk beneficial for the recovery from diarrhea.
