What is the most serious harm of breast milk diarrhea? The harm caused by any disease is inevitable, especially the diseases in infants and young children need to be taken seriously. Some breastfed babies will suffer from breast milk diarrhea, so what is the most serious harm of suffering from breast milk diarrhea?

Breast milk diarrhea is a symptom of diarrhea caused by the baby's inability to adapt to a certain component in breast milk. This situation is more common in babies under 6 months old. Unlike diarrhea caused by other diseases, babies with breast milk diarrhea generally do not change much in weight and growth, but long-term diarrhea can still lead to malnutrition and affect the baby's health.

The cause of breast milk diarrhea may be the high content of prostaglandins in breast milk, which promotes small intestinal movement and increases the secretion of water and electrolytes, resulting in loose stools. It may also be that the baby is lactose intolerant and lacks lactase in the body. When the so-called physiological breast milk diarrhea occurs, do not switch to milk feeding in order to form stools. The baby's body will gradually adapt to the prostaglandins in breast milk, and the lactase will gradually mature and increase the enzyme activity, so that it can decompose, digest and absorb lactose, and gradually improve with the addition of complementary foods.

Diarrhea is a common and frequently occurring disease in infants and young children. Regardless of the severity of the disease, it must be treated promptly. If mild cases are not treated for a long time, they will develop into persistent diarrhea. Severe cases are accompanied by water and electrolyte disorders and must be sent to the hospital for treatment in time. Delays will put their lives in danger.

In addition, parents should note that long-term diarrhea in babies will cause red buttocks. After diarrhea, babies should wash their buttocks with warm water, wipe them dry, and apply an appropriate amount of Songda camellia oil on their buttocks. Songda camellia oil has moisturizing, nourishing, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, and can form a protective layer on the skin to prevent bacterial infection of the baby's skin and cause red buttocks.
