In addition, the summer baby had better not eat leftovers, parents should be more diligent, every meal try to make fresh food for the baby, leftovers are easy to deteriorate, easy to cause diarrhea. The temperature is high in summer, the baby who drinks milk powder should pay attention to that the storage of unfinished milk should not exceed half an hour. If it exceeds half an hour, please pour it out!
2. Keep breastfeeding
When the baby is born to 4 months, it is best to keep breastfeeding. Breast milk is most suitable for the nutritional needs and digestive capacity of infants. Human milk contains IgA, which can neutralize enterotoxin of Escherichia coli, prevent infection of Escherichia coli, and prevent diarrhea in children. For the sake of baby's health, the new mommy had better insist on breastfeeding the baby. However, it should be noted that during breastfeeding, new mothers should avoid eating too spicy, greasy and cold food. Before feeding, wash the nipple with a clean warm towel, and then feed the baby.
3. Eat digestible food
Baby's gastrointestinal system is not mature, summer feeding baby to pay attention to add easily digestible food. For babies who are breastfed, breastfeeding is recommended. The gastrointestinal digestive function of the newborn baby is weaker. When milk powder is added in summer, the baby may not adapt for a while and cause diarrhea. For older babies, if they want to add complementary food, they need to add one kind of complementary food. When the baby adapts to one kind of complementary food, they need to add another. Do not add two kinds of complementary food together.
4. Wash hands frequently
For infectious diarrhea, frequent hand washing is the best preventive measure, because the bacteria causing diarrhea can easily spread from hand to mouth. Parents should wash their hands thoroughly before preparing food, changing diapers or going to the bathroom. Wash your baby's hands before eating fruit and food to prevent harmful bacteria from spreading through your hands.
Nursing points of baby diarrhea
Once the baby has diarrhea, parents should pay attention to the following two points in the treatment and nursing process:

Many times, the use of antibiotics or other antidiarrheal drugs for diarrhea is indeed effective, but the disease still needs to be targeted, especially for small babies, can not be used casually, let alone abuse antibiotics. Diarrhea in children is a group of diseases mainly caused by diarrhea. The pathogens are viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites and so on. But it may also be caused by non infectious factors, such as allergic diarrhea, climate factors and so on. In the case of definite diagnosis and under the guidance of doctors, it is necessary to standardize the use of drugs, and do not abuse antibiotics, otherwise it may lead to intestinal flora disorder, or even aggravate diarrhea.
2. Replenish water in time
Most of the diarrhea in children is acute. Frequent diarrhea will cause the rapid loss of water and nutrients in the body, resulting in acute dehydration. Water is an important material to maintain life, the younger the age, the larger the proportion of water in body weight. The loss of water equivalent to 5% of the weight of the child will lead to dehydration; more than 15% of the children will have convulsions, coma and even life-threatening. Therefore, when the baby diarrhea, parents should give the baby timely water.
Parents should do a good job of daily care for their baby, so that diarrhea will occur less in summer. Baby health is the greatest happiness of parents.
