What are the methods to cure breast milk diarrhea? When babies have breast milk diarrhea, many mothers are worried and at a loss. Breast milk diarrhea is mainly characterized by diarrhea and abdominal pain. During the diarrhea period, patients will experience weakness, loss of appetite and other symptoms. It is necessary to pay attention to active treatment. So, what are the methods to cure breast milk diarrhea?

Generally, mild physiological 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 plus 5 grams of glucose instead of milk, and physiological diarrhea can be controlled. Soy milk feeding should not be used alone for a long time, and fish protein should be added gradually. The specific method is to use 180 ml of rice soup to mix 5 grams of fish protein. Generally, infants can be fed 3 times a day.

Severe breast milk diarrhea should be treated. In this case, Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. For example, Jianpi Zhixie capsules can be used. The dosage varies according to age. The medicine in the capsule can be removed and taken after washing. Acupuncture can also be used for treatment, which is very effective.

Diarrhea caused by breastfeeding may be due to the high content of prostaglandins in breast milk, which promotes the movement of small intestinal smooth muscles, increases the secretion of water and electrolytes, and produces loose stools. It may also be due to the child's lactose intolerance and the lack of lactase in the body. Lactose intolerance is divided into primary and secondary types. The lead acetate method can be used to measure the amount of lactose in the child's feces for initial screening, and then confirmed by the rapid effect of a lactose-free diet.

In case of breast milk diarrhea, do not feed milk for the purpose of forming stool. The baby's body will gradually adapt to the prostaglandins in breast milk, and the lactase will gradually mature and the enzyme activity will increase, which will enable it to decompose, digest and absorb lactose, and the condition will gradually improve with the addition of complementary food. Also, be careful not to cover the nipple of the child. After each breast is basically empty, if you continue to suck, the fat content in the milk will increase, which can easily cause fat indigestion. It is recommended to suck if you want to, and stop if you don't want to. Each time for about 10 minutes, the full breast can be basically sucked empty.
