My baby of 10weeks plus is having temperature and passing watery stool and the stool is drawing, she is on exclusive breastfeeding. pls want can I do.
Dr Oki Emmanuel
Kindly check the temperature first with a thermometer....The brain does a lot of work so there is a lot of blood flow to the head which can make it a little warm to touch....However that does not mean fever or sickness...As long as the temp in your thermometer reads normal, there is really no need to worry
Dr Oki Emmanuel
For the temperature, kindly use a thermometer to get the accurate temperature of your baby. Do not use your hand to judge.

Regarding the mucus in stool, there is no need to worry.... Just continue exclusive breastfeeding. Kindly pay attention to your own diet and avoid herbal remedies or drugs that are not prescribed by the doctors which may pass via the breast milk to affect the baby. Avoid heavy spicy or flavoured foods, as well as some, also affect the baby when passed via the breast milk to the baby! If MUCUS persists in the stools kindly see a Paediatrician for thorough evaluation and management!"
