Breastfeeding mothers are very careful about their diet because they need to breastfeed. They always distinguish what they can and cannot eat, and everything is for the sake of their baby's health. They are afraid that any slight mistake in their diet may affect their baby's health. Can mothers with diarrhea drink milk?
The main cause of diarrhea in babies is usually due to indigestion or bacterial or viral infections in the intestines. The relationship between drinking milk with the mother is not very significant, so when the baby has diarrhea, the mother can usually continue to drink milk.
If a baby experiences diarrhea, parents should take the baby to see a doctor to confirm the cause of the diarrhea. If there is an infection, timely treatment such as anti infection and fluid replacement should be taken; If there is no sign of infection, then consider whether it is caused by factors such as breast milk or gut microbiota imbalance.
Breastfeeded babies may experience symptoms of diarrhea, regardless of whether it is caused by breast milk or not. Mothers should pay attention to their diet and focus on light, low-fat, and easily digestible foods. Try not to eat cold, hot, or excessively cold foods, and drinking milk is not a problem. Pay attention to the condition of the baby's stool. If there is mucus in the baby's stool and the baby is crying, and if the baby's urine output is also low, take the baby to the hospital.
