What to do if your baby has watery stools

Nowadays, there are basically six adults taking care of one baby, so if the baby is a little unwell, the whole family will be worried, especially during the infant period. New parents do not understand some of the symptoms of the baby and do not know how to deal with them. It's easy to get flustered and panic. Recently, many mothers have asked what to do if their baby’s stool is watery. Let’s take a look at the details.

1. First of all, if the mother has enough milk, exclusive breastfeeding is recommended.

2. Pay attention to diet quality: When mixed feeding and artificial feeding are adopted due to insufficient or lack of breast milk, attention should be paid to dietary adjustment.

3. Breastfeeding mothers must pay attention to a balanced diet with a reasonable and comprehensive nutritional combination, and the food must be light.

4. Pay attention to the baby's stool color, whether there is mucus, pus or blood, body temperature, the baby's mental state, appetite, and whether the baby is crying and restless. If your baby has frequent bowel movements, and there is mucus, pus, and blood, and his spirits and appetite are poor, and his urine output is reduced, take your baby to the hospital as soon as possible. Use a clean disposable paper cup to collect your baby's stool and send it to the hospital for testing in time to find out the cause. Listen to the doctor's opinions and suggestions, and take medicine under the doctor's guidance.

After reading this, I believe new parents should have a certain understanding of what to do if the baby's stool is watery, so don't panic when encountering such a situation. The baby is small and his gastrointestinal development is imperfect, so there will be some minor illnesses in his growth process. As long as parents can understand and treat it in time and use the correct treatment methods, the baby will recover soon.
