Causes an acute diarrhea has not been completely cured, there is no more common in breast-fed baby milk used instead. This baby is less secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, digestive capacity is weak, thus making the lower part of the normal intestinal bacteria went to the upper intestinal tract to eat the food decomposition, fermentation, the formation of the material continue to stimulate the gut of corruption, resulting in prolonged diarrhea unhealed. In this regard, under the guidance of a doctor can be used to treat food therapy, such as diluted milk, coke rice soup, yogurt, fish protein powder, carrot soup, and applesauce.

Because two long-term use of antibiotics kill the normal flora, so that a large number of pathogenic bacteria to breed.

Mommy Care Common Misunderstandings

Misunderstanding a bowel movement more times as long as the diarrhea is

Varies from 4-6 times a day, up more than 10 times as many, it also includes milk, a little transparent block or mucus.

This situation was particularly prevalent in breast-fed babies, in fact it is a physiological diarrhea. With the gradual development of digestive function, adding more foods from the milk after a natural turn for the better, rather than suffering from enteritis. As long as the baby’s appetite normal, pleasant state of mind, good response, sleep peacefully, body weight has also increased, no abnormal stool tests, we do not need to take anti-diarrheal drugs, so as not to affect normal intestinal function.
