What should I do if my three or four month old baby has diarrhea?

Newborns have relatively weak constitutions and need special care from adults. Despite this, some babies still develop unexpected illnesses at a very young age. For example, a three or four month old baby has diarrhea. When faced with such a situation, mothers will definitely be particularly worried because they have no experience after all. There are many reasons for babies to have diarrhea. Some new mothers will feed their children milk powder, but because the child’s gastrointestinal function is not sound, it may cause diarrhea; or it may be because the mother is careless and does not pay attention to the child’s personal hygiene, causing bacterial diarrhea; it may also be caused by the child catching a cold, so what should we do?

1. Diet adjustment

If a four-month-old baby has diarrhea, fasting is not recommended. If he was previously breastfed, he should continue to drink breast milk. If he was previously drinking milk powder, he should continue to drink milk powder, but the amount should be reduced and more water should be added. In addition, if you are worried that your baby will be hungry, you can give your baby some apple soup, carrot soup and other supplementary food therapies.

Mothers can try using Dinggui umbilical cord patches, probiotic conditioning medicines, or Jianer antidiarrhea granules on their babies. These drugs can inhibit harmful bacteria in the intestines and restore the normal balance of intestinal flora.
