The little guy has been very fussy these past two days, and the adults don't know what's wrong. My mom said we need to observe carefully; since the little one can't speak, we can only rely on the adults' careful observation!
Symptoms of the little guy: dry lips, prone to crying, even watery stools, egg drop soup-like stools, and fever.
We are worried about dehydration, so his mother gives him tea every one or two hours.
Previously, because we were worried that there might not be enough breast milk for the baby, we prepared formula. My mother said we should try to use breast milk as much as possible to improve the intestines!
According to information found online regarding infant diarrhea symptoms:

It is watery diarrhea, resembling egg drop soup, sometimes it could be mucus or bloody stool. The baby may also experience vomiting, abdominal distension, fever, restlessness, and poor spirits.
