How do patients with breast milk diarrhea choose to do relevant examinations? Breast milk diarrhea is a special type of diarrhea that occurs in babies under 6 months old. This condition usually improves after the baby starts to eat complementary foods at 6 months old, and the impact on the child is not great. So, how do patients with breast milk diarrhea choose relevant examinations?

It is recommended to do a stool test first to rule out the possibility of disease. The stool test of infants with breast milk diarrhea shows no abnormalities. The baby is generally lively and has a good appetite. Although the diarrhea occurs more frequently, it does not affect the child's growth. In addition, parents should carefully observe the child's condition:

1. When feeding, the baby's sucking action can be heard and the baby's swallowing sound of "gurgling" can be heard.

2. The mother feels her breasts are full before breastfeeding, feels the milk coming down during breastfeeding, and becomes soft after breastfeeding.

3. Between feedings, the baby feels satisfied, has a happy expression, bright eyes and is very responsive. He is quiet and peaceful when falling asleep.

4. The baby's diaper needs to be changed more than 6 times a day, and the baby has 2 to 4 bowel movements a day, which are golden and paste-like.

5. The average baby's weight increases by about 150 grams per week, and can increase by more than 600 grams when one month old.

Breast milk diarrhea has obvious characteristics. This type of diarrhea usually causes 3-7 bowel movements a day. The stool is foamy and watery, with a special sour smell. The stool is watery and slightly green, with foam and milk curds, and sometimes even with strips of transparent mucus. There is no fever during diarrhea, the baby does not have obvious pain or crying, and the stool test shows no abnormal infection. The degree of diarrhea generally has no other symptoms. The baby is lively and has a good appetite. Although the diarrhea lasts for a long time, the weight gain is about 300 every 10 days, and it is protracted and unhealed.

Generally, mild physiological diarrhea does not require treatment, and breastfeeding can continue. Severe breastfeeding diarrhea should be treated. In such cases, Chinese medicine can generally be used for treatment, such as Jianpi Zhixie Capsules. The dosage varies according to age. The medicine in the capsule can be removed and taken after the capsule is taken. Acupuncture can also be used for treatment, which is very effective.
