Question

What is the cause of a 10-day-old baby’s loose stool after breastfeeding?

Answer

A 10-day-old baby’s loose stool may be caused by pediatric diarrhea. During the care of a baby with diarrhea, it is important to follow the principle of ’less food, more meals; start with less, increase gradually; start with thin, thicken gradually.’ Treatment methods may include the use of antibiotics, mucosal protectants, microbiological regulators, or traditional Chinese medicine.
