A newborn baby's various organs are in the developmental stage, and the digestive system is not perfect. If the mother is not careful during the process of taking care of the baby, she may have diarrhea. So, what should be done if the baby has a good appetite and diarrhea? Let's take a look together below!
Firstly, improper feeding by mothers can lead to indigestion in babies. If a baby suffers from indigestion, the stool they produce will be like water. Or the stimulation of the baby's gastrointestinal tract can also cause the baby's stool to be like water, and this situation is mainly due to the baby being stimulated by cold, heat, or external fright. In addition, if the baby is allergic, this situation may also occur.
Secondly, if the baby has a good appetite and mental state, and defecates like water, it is not caused by illness. At this time, mothers need to pay attention to the child's diet, especially for babies who are feeding complementary foods. They must give the baby a light diet and adjust the baby's diet to restore normalcy. Mothers don't have to worry too much. After the baby pulls water, the mother also needs to replenish water for the baby in a timely manner to prevent dehydration.
Finally, do not give medication to your baby during diarrhea. It is best to go to the hospital and see a doctor. For babies with poor gastrointestinal health, under the guidance of a doctor, give them some medication to regulate their gastrointestinal tract. When taking care of a baby, mothers must pay attention to the baby's gastrointestinal condition and seek medical attention promptly if there are any abnormalities in the baby's gastrointestinal tract.
