Patient's question:
My baby is 6 months old and it's time to start feeding him HiPP Organic Grow Plus. At first, I mixed 1 and 2 together, and the bowel movements were still quite normal. But now, after switching to all 2, he has 5-6 bowel movements a day, and they are very runny. Can anyone tell me what to do?Doctor's answer:
It is very clear that the child is experiencing such bowel movements during the transition period to a new formula, which is due to intestinal discomfort caused by the change in milk.For this situation, you should immediately stop adding the new formula and closely monitor the intestinal function. Generally, babies fed with formula are more prone to slightly drier bowel movements. Normal bowel movements should be neither watery nor loose, and have a yellow color. It is recommended to closely observe the situation, avoid catching a cold or drafts, and avoid overeating. If necessary, you may take Mamikai (a probiotic supplement) for treatment.
