Aim To explore and improve nursing care for infants after enterostomy. Methods A total of 483 infants who underwent enterostomy from January 2014 to January 2019 were enrolled in this study. Results During hospitalization and follow‐up, there were 30 infants with peripheral skin complications, including 15 cases of allergic dermatitis, 13 cases of faecal dermatitis and two cases of avulsion injury. Conclusion Without proper and effective nursing care, the peripheral skin complications of enterostomy‐related can easily develop. Therefore, careful postoperative care and effective family follow‐up and guidance are essential after discharge, and using WeChat to follow‐up can provide timely and effective follow‐up and guidance to patients. Implications for Nursing Management This study summarizes the experience of nursing care for infants over a 5‐year period. Nurses must provide sound care for infants after enterostomy, timely and effectively address complications, guide nursing care performed by family members and strengthen follow‐up through the WeChat online support group to reduce the occurrence of complications.
