Question |
do breast feeding cause diarrea ? what is the mechanism?

Answer |
No breast feeding does not cause diarrhea unless the child has lactose intolerance. Also secretory diarrhea such as chloride losing enteropathy can occur in neonates on oral feeding and subsides only when enteral feeding is stopped.
