Does mother diarrhea affect breast milk

Diarrhea generally refers to diarrhea. Whether mother diarrhea affects breast milk needs to be analyzed in combination with actual conditions.

There are many reasons for diarrhea. If mother diarrhea is caused by indigestion, abdominal cold, etc., the general breast milk composition will not change, and breastfeeding will not affect the health of the baby. However, if mother diarrhea is related to pathogen infection and inflammatory factors, breastfeeding is generally not allowed. Breast milk may contain pathogenic bacteria and inflammatory factors, which may affect the health of the baby after eating. At the same time, mothers generally need medication to control the disease, some of which may be transmitted to the baby through breast milk, so breastfeeding needs to be suspended.
