Question

My daughter is 50 days old and her stool is becoming looser. What should I do?

Answer

Breastfed babies naturally have looser stool, so as long as it’s not excessively loose, there’s no cause for concern. Try the following methods:

  • The mother should pay attention to her diet and avoid irritating and greasy foods.
  • Ensure the baby is kept warm, as newborns are sensitive to temperature changes.
  • Observe whether there is a reaction to the breast milk.
