What should I do if my newborn has diarrhea?

=I believe that many parents have encountered the problem of diarrhea in their babies, but many parents do not pay much attention to this, thinking that diarrhea is a very common thing and it will be fine after a few days. In fact, this idea is wrong. Even an adult who always has diarrhea needs to go to the hospital for examination, let alone such a fragile baby. Because my baby has experienced diarrhea before, I have summarized some reasons for baby diarrhea and some coping methods, hoping to help everyone.

The amount of newborn diarrhea is closely related to the feeding method, the temperature of the food, the baby's illness, and the hygiene during feeding. As long as these aspects are taken care of, generally speaking, the baby is not prone to diarrhea; even if the baby has diarrhea, as long as the baby is in good spirits, has gained weight, and has normal feeding, it will not have much impact. Generally speaking, for the problem of newborn diarrhea, we should focus on prevention and try not to let the baby have diarrhea. Then I will share with mothers several causes and prevention methods of newborn diarrhea. Whether the problem of what to do with newborn diarrhea can be solved depends on how the mother sees it. Here is a reference for you!

Physiological loose stools, improper feeding, allergy to milk powder, newborn colds, viruses and bacteria. Physiological loose stools: Different feeding methods will result in different baby stools. If the baby is breastfed, 5-6 times a day, or even 7-8 times a day, are normal. If the baby is energetic and has gained weight, it is normal. Milk powder feeding is 1-5 times a day. If the baby's diet and spirit are normal, it can be concluded that the baby is fine. During this period, you should pay more attention to the baby's spirit, weight, how much he eats, etc. to prevent diarrhea. Diarrhea caused by improper feeding: Too much sugar added to the baby's milk powder, frequent feeding, too concentrated milk powder, inappropriate milk powder temperature, inappropriate milk powder, etc. will all lead to symptoms of diarrhea in babies. In this case, you should correct the way you feed your baby. Diarrhea caused by allergy to milk powder:

Generally speaking, 2-8 babies out of 100 are allergic to milk powder, which usually occurs when they are 2-3 months old. This is also true for congenital hereditary allergies. In this case, the baby should be fed with special milk powder prescribed by the doctor.

Newborn cold leads to diarrhea:

Sometimes, when a baby catches a cold, it will cause diarrhea in the baby. In this case, the baby's cold must be cured first before the diarrhea can be cured; Viruses and bacteria cause diarrhea: Most viruses and bacteria can cause diarrhea in babies. Generally, 70-80% of viruses and bacteria appear in autumn and winter. This season can easily cause diarrhea in babies, so to prevent diarrhea in babies, you must pay attention to the baby's hygiene in this season.

Note:

Mothers must pay attention to their own diet and physical hygiene; they must also pay attention to the hygiene of their baby's feeding utensils. Many babies will suffer from diarrhea during the stages of breastfeeding and formula feeding. In this case, the mother just needs to feed more breast milk. The causes of neonatal diarrhea include: because the gastrointestinal tract of newborns is not mature enough, the digestive ability is poor, and the immune function is lower than that of adults; in addition, they grow and develop rapidly, their nutritional needs are relatively high, the gastrointestinal tract is heavily burdened, and diarrhea is prone to occur. A common cause of diarrhea is improper feeding, such as increasing the amount of milk for bottle-fed babies too much or suddenly changing from breast milk to bottle-feeding, adding too much sugar to milk or feeding at irregular times. An environment that is too hot or too cold can cause intestinal dysfunction. In a small number of children, diarrhea is caused by allergy to dairy products. Another cause of diarrhea is infection, such as when the mother does not wash her hands before breastfeeding and does not pay attention to personal hygiene and nipple cleaning.

To sum up, the reasons why babies have diarrhea are actually not much different from those who have diarrhea in adults. They are both caused by eating bad food. Because babies are too young and don't know how much they are full, they almost never stop feeding you. Some people feed their babies formula milk because they have too little breast milk. If this is the case, then you should feed the formula milk frequently and keep it at an appropriate temperature.
