What are the differences between the symptoms of diarrhea and indigestion in babies? Can you tell the difference?

Question 1: What is the difference between overeating and indigestion in babies who are just three months old? My baby has thick white tongue coating and smelly diarrhea. Most of the smell is from the milk valve. What is the problem of slow weight gain? Dr. Zhu Xiwei’s answer: Indigestion and abnormal stools, such as diarrhea and milk flaps in the stool, and food accumulation are usually caused by abdominal distension and difficulty in breastfeeding. If the baby is large, these two conditions are relatively similar. According to the narrative, the baby is suffering from indigestion. If he is breastfeeding, he should consider whether the mother has digestion problems. Another situation is lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is difficult to distinguish. If the mother is breastfeeding and the mother has no problems with digestion and diet, but the child still has abnormal stools, it is usually lactose intolerance. As for the weight issue, if breast milk is not good for weight gain, you should add milk powder feeding. Question 2: If my hair is permed and dyed during breastfeeding, will I be unable to breastfeed? Dr. Zhang Yanmei answered: You can feed it, because the possibility of the chemicals contained in the hair dye and perm solution entering the human body through the scalp is very low, let alone being absorbed by breast milk. But special attention needs to be paid to washing hands and nipples. The main impact on the baby is contact and odor, which may cause allergies. Although it has nothing to do with milk, mothers should try to avoid close contact with him during this period. Question 3: I am 29 years old and have given birth to a child. During this time, I have had headaches and blurred vision every time I menstruate, and my menstrual flow has become less and less. I would like to ask what is going on? Dr. Yu Jiangqi’s answer: From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it may be due to kidney deficiency. From the perspective of Western medicine, it is endocrine disorder. You can check six items of sex hormones on the third day of menstruation, and then use appropriate medicine according to the results. It is best to see a Chinese medicine doctor and prescribe Chinese medicine according to the tongue, pulse and symptoms.
