Patient's question:
Doesn't like to eat, throws up everything when crying, hasn't eaten anything all day today, and ate a lot of milk yesterday. Female, one year old, just weaned and doesn't like to eat, now only drinking goat milk. Too frequent bowel movements, once a day, otherwise everything is fine. Recently, I switched her to cow's milk, and now she has bowel movements 2 to 3 times a day, a bit loose, and whatever she eats comes out. She needs to drink 3 to 4 times a day, 180 to 200 milliliters of milk, and only eats a little of other things. Even meals are only 3 bites. Yesterday, she was drinking milk well, but this morning I gave her Small Nutri-Stat, which is specifically for picky eaters.Doctor's answer:
From your description, it may be due to some digestive discomfort in the child during the transition from cow's milk to goat's milk. In terms of nutritional value, the two are quite similar, so it's best to let the child drink whatever they are accustomed to. Additionally, Abbott's Similac Grow & Gain nutritional powder has a high nutritional value and is suitable for children with cow's milk intolerance.Generally, complementary foods should be introduced to infants around six months of age, as the nutrients in food are most complete. It is recommended to offer milk or goat's milk once in the morning and once in the evening. The child may be experiencing indigestion, so it is advisable to temporarily avoid excessive amounts of milk or goat's milk. Instead, you can offer half of what you usually give, and provide an egg daily. Appropriate snacks can also be offered, but the child should not rely solely on milk for meals.
You can now purchase children's digestive aid tablets (e.g., Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian) and either chew them or crush them into a powder, mixed with warm water for consumption.
The above suggestions are for the issue of "dislikes eating and spits everything out when crying—hasn’t eaten anything all day." I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
