What to do if a breast-feeding baby has diarrhea

If the baby has diarrhea during breastfeeding, many parents will be particularly worried, which makes parents feel at a loss. There are many reasons for this condition in babies. Diarrhea is particularly harmful to the baby. It not only affects the baby's normal nutrition supply, but also has a great impact on the baby's growth. Generally, when the baby has such a condition, the cause should be found and treatment and conditioning should be carried out according to the situation.

The main food for babies during breastfeeding is the mother's milk. At this time, if the mother eats something cold and the baby eats it through the breast milk, it is equivalent to the baby eating the cold food directly, which will cause diarrhea. Fruits and cold water are both cold things for babies. If mothers accidentally eat these things, it will directly reflect on the breast milk. This is the reason why babies have diarrhea during breastfeeding. The digestive system capacity of babies in the nursing period is much greater than that of babies in the breastfeeding period, so the reasons for diarrhea in these babies are the same as those for adults. Catching a cold or eating something bad will irritate the baby's stomach and intestines, which will react to the body and cause diarrhea.

If a breastfeeding baby has diarrhea, the mother can let the mother drink some salt water. The salt water will enter the baby's body through breast milk and the salt water will take effect. It can replenish the weakness caused by diarrhea and prevent the baby from fainting due to diarrhea. The treatment of diarrhea in breastfeeding babies is very simple. As long as the mother stops eating cold foods, the baby will basically stop having diarrhea after a while.

If a baby in the nursing period has severe diarrhea, he or she can take a small dose of diarrhea medicine, and the situation will improve. In addition to taking medicine, mothers can give their babies more hot water to relieve diarrhea, and at the same time pay attention to keeping the baby warm. By paying attention to both aspects, I believe the baby's diarrhea will get better soon.

The above is what to do if a breastfed baby has diarrhea. Parents should not be too anxious in this situation. It is usually because the mother eats bad food and the food directly enters the child's stomach through breastfeeding, causing the child to be uncomfortable and indigestion. Some babies with diarrhea also have diarrhea after catching a cold. While conditioning the baby, the mother should also adjust the diet.
