What to do if your baby has diarrhea after being born ten days ago

The body of a newborn baby is particularly fragile and is prone to diarrhea. Therefore, when their baby has diarrhea, many mothers are particularly worried. They are worried that their baby will have diarrhea 10 days after birth, which will seriously affect their health. Therefore, they want to fully understand what to do. The following is a specific answer, you can continue to learn more.

Babies have a limited digestive capacity. 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. Be sure to see a doctor if necessary.

It depends on whether the baby's stool is very thin. If it is very thin, the baby's milk powder should be changed. It should be replaced with the kind of milk powder for babies with diarrhea. You can ask the salesperson when you buy milk powder. If it is not very thin, make the milk for the baby thinner than the normal milk. Try to use rice soup to make the milk. It is also okay to give the baby rice soup. The rice soup should be boiled thicker. The baby should also be supplemented with saline solution, which is sold in pharmacies. You can add saline to the rice soup and give it to the baby. The baby will be better in a few days. After the baby has recovered from diarrhea, do not immediately make milk for the baby according to the normal proportion. The baby must wait for 3 or 4 days after it is recovered, otherwise the baby's stomach will not be able to bear it and will have diarrhea again.

So after fully understanding what to do, in order to ensure that your 10-day-old baby’s diarrhea will not cause serious harm to the body, it is best to take the child to a large hospital for a comprehensive examination, find out the cause of the diarrhea, and improve it through treatment as soon as possible.
