Patient's question:
Baby is 21 days old. Due to lack of experience, I directly switched from to without a gradual transition. Now, she has been having diarrhea for three days straight. Even after taking Montmorillonite and Bifidus, the diarrhea persists, with up to 10 episodes in a day. It seems like she's straining during bowel movements, which looks very painful.Previous Treatment and Outcome:
Born two or three days later, she had diarrhea after breastfeeding. After taking Montmorillonite and probiotics, her condition improved, and she was put on formula.
Desired Help:
What should I do about the diarrhea? Should I switch back to the original formula?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the baby's nausea and vomiting may be caused by switching to a new formula, which is due to the high protein content in the formula that the baby's gastrointestinal tract cannot fully digest. The current primary issue is to switch to a new formula and then use medications to enhance absorption. Currently, it is necessary to switch to a new formula and use medications to enhance absorption, such as probiotics. Wishing you good health! The above is advice on the question "What should I do if a baby who hasn't reached the full moon directly switches formula and gets diarrhea?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
