What are the routine examination items for breast milk diarrhea? In life, there are some babies who develop diarrhea shortly after drinking breast milk, which makes their parents extremely worried.

Stool test: For children with breast milk diarrhea, stool test will not show any abnormalities.

Breast milk diarrhea does not require examination. The disease has obvious clinical symptoms, 3-7 bowel movements a day, foamy and watery stools, with a special sour smell, and slightly green stools with foam and milk curds, sometimes even with strips of transparent mucus. There is no fever during diarrhea, the baby does not have obvious pain or crying, stool tests show no abnormalities in infection, the degree of diarrhea generally has no other symptoms, and the baby is lively and has a good appetite.

When breastfeeding, you should first observe the baby's eating habits to determine whether the breast milk is sufficient. If you can hear the baby swallowing milk when sucking, and it only takes 10-15 minutes at a time, and the baby can fall asleep quietly after feeding, and the weight gain is normal, it means that the milk supply is sufficient. On the contrary, if the baby eats intermittently and gains weight slowly, it indicates that the breast milk is insufficient. The easiest way to determine if the breast milk is insufficient is to weigh the baby. The baby's weight can be measured once a week in the first 2 months after birth, and then every 2 weeks or once a month. If the breast milk is insufficient and the baby's weight gain is very slow, mixed feeding should be carried out.

Mild physiological breast milk diarrhea does not require treatment and breastfeeding can continue. In this way, the baby's body will gradually adapt to the prostaglandins in breast milk, and the lactase will gradually mature, the activity of the enzyme will increase, and it will gradually be able to decompose, digest and absorb lactose, and gradually improve with the addition of complementary food. In terms of diet, you can feed 100 ml of fresh soy milk with 5 grams of glucose instead of milk, and physiological diarrhea can be controlled.

Breastfeeding mothers should have a balanced diet and eat light food, especially less greasy food. If you drink soup every day to promote lactation, you should remove the floating oil on the surface of the soup. You can feed your baby some millet porridge oil (the oil on the surface of millet after boiling. Babies under 6 months old cannot eat millet grains. When breastfeeding, mothers should alternate between feeding on both sides, because if one side is sucked empty and then continues to suck, the fat content in the milk will increase, which is easy to cause lipid indigestion.
