It is inevitable for babies to experience diarrhea during their growth process, although it may be caused by different reasons and the severity may vary. However, diarrhea in babies often lasts for a long time and recurs. So, what is the reason for recurrent diarrhea in babies?
Firstly, repeated diarrhea in babies may be a problem with their digestive system. The baby's digestive system is still developing and its function is not yet strong, and the activity of various gastrointestinal enzymes is also low. However, due to the high demand for nutrients for growth and development, the baby's digestive system cannot keep up, resulting in diarrhea. Diarrhea can further damage the gastrointestinal system, leading to a vicious cycle.
Secondly, baby diarrhea may also be due to the baby's low immune system. The baby's gastrointestinal mucosa is very fragile, and the body has fewer antibodies, so there is little resistance to invading pathogens. Therefore, adults can eat the same food without any problem, while babies may experience diarrhea after eating it.
Finally, when a baby experiences diarrhea, it is important not to use medication based on personal experience or antibiotics indiscriminately, as this may have the opposite effect. After the baby has diarrhea, it is not advisable to immediately give them fish and meat as a supplement, as the baby's body is weak after diarrhea and cannot digest these foods, which may cause diarrhea again. A lighter diet is sufficient.
