During the process of growth, babies may experience diarrhea, which is basically caused by the mother's improper care of the baby. So only by paying attention to all aspects of baby care can mothers ensure the healthy growth of their babies. However, not all mothers can accurately understand the nursing methods for newborns, such as what to do if a seven day old baby has diarrhea?
Babies who are seven days old may experience diarrhea due to improper diet. Mothers should pay attention to feeding their babies in their daily lives. Milk and formula must be heated before feeding, and should not be eaten when they are cold, as this can cause diarrhea. And it is necessary to clean the bottle nipple in a timely manner and disinfect it to prevent bacterial growth.
Babies born at 7 days old must keep their abdomen warm and avoid catching a cold. Mothers can wear more cotton clothes for babies to keep their abdomen warm. When wiping the body of a baby, it is important to be very careful and wipe around the belly button. Do not touch the area around the belly button and keep it clean and hygienic. Otherwise, the baby's belly button may catch cold and cause diarrhea.
In daily diet, mothers should also eat some hot food, cook the food thoroughly, eat less raw and cold food, and eat less greasy food, such as hotpot and smoked food. Otherwise, babies who breastfeed will also be affected by greasy breast milk and have diarrhea.
Mothers should take good care of their babies' physical health. Usually, it is necessary to give babies hot water and reduce the intake of warm and cold water, otherwise it may cause bacterial infections and diarrhea in babies. If it is severe, it is necessary to seek medical examination and targeted treatment, otherwise it may cause dehydration and endanger the baby's life and health.
