What are the key points in diagnosing breast milk diarrhea? The probability of breast milk diarrhea is not very high in life. It is mainly caused by the baby's intolerance to lactose in breast milk or excessive prostaglandins in breast milk. So, what are the key points in diagnosing breast milk diarrhea? Let's take a look.

Breast milk diarrhea has obvious characteristics. This type of diarrhea usually causes 3-7 bowel movements a day. The stool is foamy and watery, has a special sour smell, is watery and slightly green, contains foam and milk curds, and sometimes even contains 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 terms of infection, and the degree of diarrhea generally has no other symptoms. The baby is lively and has a good appetite.

1. During breastfeeding, the baby's sucking action can be heard, and the baby's swallowing sound can be heard. Before breastfeeding, the mother feels the breasts are full, and during breastfeeding, there is a feeling of milk coming down, and after breastfeeding, the breasts become soft.

2. Between feedings, the baby feels satisfied, has a happy expression, bright eyes, and is responsive. He is quiet and at ease when falling asleep. The baby changes diapers more than 6 times a day, and has 2-4 golden-yellow stools.

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

In many cases, the baby just has frequent bowel movements, but the stool characteristics and baby condition are normal. This can be left alone 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 enzyme activity will increase, and it will gradually be able to decompose, digest and absorb lactose, and gradually improve with the addition of complementary foods.

In terms of diet, you can feed 100 ml of fresh soy milk with 5 grams of glucose instead of milk, which can control physiological diarrhea. Soy milk feeding should not be used alone for a long time, and fish protein should be added gradually. The specific method is to mix 5 grams of fish protein with 180 ml of rice soup. Generally, infants can be fed 3 times a day.
