Baby girl suffering diarrhea
Hello doc.
My 12 Days old baby is having loose motion.. at least 15-18 times a day. This includes stool which is slightly watery with seeds, Sometimes only water, During passing gas as well very less quantity of stool comes out. There is slight smell also in stool and rashes on bump. She is on breast feed and feeling somewhat uncomfortable and sleepy. But after 2-3 hours she takes feed. Her mother was under medication antibiotics due to Csec for last 12 days but have stopped the antibiotics yesterday as we feel that it may be one of the reason for baby health issue due to breast feed.
Kindly suggest.
Regards

Looking towards history of gas passing with some stool .Kindly check that baby sucks base of nipple so less air is swallowed and burping done after every feed.Mother should feed baby on one breast till it gets completely empty .
You can apply coconut oil or nappy rash cream on bump area.
Next Steps
Monitor baby for feed activity passing urine frequently and weight gain.

Little in quantity passing many number of stools. Gaining weight , passing urine , taking milk adequately nothing to worry .for rashes you can apply coconut oil.Don’t use wet wipes for cleaning dip cotton in water and clean the anal region. Continue breast feeding .
