Is it normal for a 2-year-old baby to increase the number of times they drink milk before bed?

Patient's question:

The baby is 2 years and 4 months old! On the evening of September 24, we switched the baby to a new formula milk. On September 25, the baby had diarrhea with blood in the stool. The hospital tested the stool and diagnosed it as enteritis. The doctor prescribed Huanglian tablets! The next day, the diarrhea stopped! On the 27th, the baby didn't have a bowel movement, and the Huanglian tablets were stopped. On the 28th morning, the baby had a lot of bowel movements, which were slightly loose. We gave the baby Huanglian tablets again! That day, in the afternoon and evening, the baby had soft bowel movements like ice cream, not watery in amount, neither too much nor too little! Today, the baby had two bowel movements in the morning and evening! This is the baby's bowel movement situation! The urine output is no different from usual! But since switching to the new formula milk, the baby has needed to drink two rounds of milk before each bedtime, as he drinks it with too much water!

Doctor's answer:

It's nothing. Drinking milk is not bad for children, and it can also supplement calcium. Drinking milk before sleep allows for better calcium absorption, as height development occurs during the deep sleep phase after falling asleep, when growth hormone is secreted in abundance, promoting height growth. Does your family have a history of diabetes? If not, the chances of a child this young getting diabetes are very low. Don't worry.
