Patient's question:
Mixed feeding, with breastfeeding as the primary method, adding formula milk once in the afternoon each day, about 100 milliliters. The stool color is yellow, with a sticky texture and white, egg-like fragments inside. It's excreted twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon, occasionally excreted once more on some days. Basically, it's two to three times. For over a month, the baby has been eating Abbott, and now you want to switch to Hi Life. Is it okay? (Adding formula milk once in the afternoon, about 100 milliliters) How should the switch be made? Gradually mix and increase, or can it be switched directly? Is the stool normal? Are there any symptoms of indigestion? How is the formula milk transition? The baby is gaining weight slowly, only about 1.5 pounds per month. The baby doesn't sleep during the day, with a maximum of half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon. Is the slow weight gain related to not sleeping, or to the formula milk? Is the frequency of stool excretion high?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, for babies who are mixed-fed, their stools may occasionally contain small lumps, which is normal. Having two to three bowel movements per day is also normal. It is important for the child to have good deep sleep. If they sleep less during the day, they should sleep more at night. You should first gradually introduce the new formula to the child and avoid switching abruptly. Wait until the child has adjusted before switching to the new brand. After six months, a baby typically gains about two pounds per month. The growth rate mentioned above is approximately normal, and it is common to gain up to four pounds.This is the advice for the question "Is it normal for a two-month-old baby's stool to contain curds?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
