Why does my baby have diarrhea after feeding?

For many young fathers and mothers, raising children is a particularly troublesome thing. Because I have no experience in raising children, I find many of the problems my baby encounters difficult to deal with and have no idea how to deal with them. I believe that parents have encountered the situation where their baby has diarrhea after feeding. If your baby gets diarrhea after drinking milk, parents must be very worried and distressed. So how does this happen, and what should new parents pay attention to when their baby is drinking milk?

Babies have a limited digestive capacity, unlike adults. If they eat more food than they can handle, they will suffer from diarrhea. Due to differences in eating habits, health conditions and individual differences, the nutrients (mainly fat) contained in some mothers' breast milk exceed the baby's needs, which will cause diarrhea in the baby, which is usually called "physiological diarrhea." If the baby has no other symptoms except increased frequency of bowel movements, has a good appetite, does not vomit, and his growth and development are not affected, then it is not caused by any disease. After adding complementary foods, the bowel movements will gradually return to normal, and the mother does not need to worry too much. Babies with "physiological diarrhea" do not need medication, and generally the effect will be achieved by changing the baby's diet to milk or other dairy products. If you don't want to wean your baby, you can shorten the time of each feeding and let your baby only eat the first half of the milk which is high in protein and low in fat. This can also improve the situation. If necessary, the mother can drink a large cup of light salt water half an hour to an hour before breastfeeding to dilute the breast milk, and then feed the baby.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has some understanding of how to prevent and treat babies from having diarrhea after feeding. In fact, raising children is an art that needs to be learned. Although children do not have the ability to speak like adults, parents can understand their children's real needs through careful observation of their babies. Therefore, new parents must know how to understand every aspect of their children when raising them.
