New Born Passes Frequent Watery Yellow Stools And Urine After Every Feed. What Should Be Done?
Hi, My newborn daughter is passing stool 15-20 times a day. She is 21 days old. The motion is yellow in color and watery and many times very little. She is assing motion and urine after every feed. Her wieght is 3 kg. Please suggest what should be done to make this normal as I am tired of changing diapers (nearly 10 a day). She has developed rashes also. I keep applying diaper rash cream. thanks.
Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Frequent little bit loose stools are normal in newborns and after feed they pass stool due to gastrocolic reflex which is normal in infants.
Frequent urination is a good sign of adequate feeds and proper hydration.
You continue exclusive breastfeeding.
If the loose motions still present you can give lactobacillus probiotic after doctor consultation.
For the diaper rash, clean the area gently, allow it to get dry and apply the diaper rash cream.
Hope I have answered your query.
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Relax,it is normal for breast fed baby to pass several motions a day.This is due to increased gastrocolic reflex.
Give exclusive breast feeding.you can give lactobacillus sachet for 3 to 4 days.
For rashes,keep area dry after changing diaper for some time,gently wipe it and apply rash cream 3 to 4 times a day.
