Watery stool ans red anus

2023-04-14 10:04:23
Hi doctors, My 16 days old son has very watery stool with yellow particles. Also, there is redness around his anus which looks a little swollen. He's struggling to poop and passes a lot of gas. Can someone please help me with possible causes and solutions? Context: I'm currently taking post partum ayurveda medicines and consuming almost 3 glass of milk per day. I myself have indigestion issue since past 3 days. Baby is being exclusively breastfed.

Are you using wet wipes to clean anal area? This can be cause of redness around anus. If very watery stool and weight loss is there then it needs to be evaluated..

If weight is gaining properly then wait and watch.

Kindly consult, it may be diaper dermatitis, also diet of mother can affect the consistency of your newborn's stools.
