Patient's question:
My baby started eating complementary foods when she was four months old. Now she is six months and three days old. She has had diarrhea for the past 5 or 6 days, but her spirits are the same as before. I haven't given her complementary foods these days, but I'm afraid she won't be full with just breast milk. I want to ask if she can eat complementary foods now, and if so, how many times a day and what kinds of foods can she eat? Thank you.Previous Treatment and Effects:
I gave her Pàngdé Shēng and Xiao'ér Jiǎn Pí Powder for a few days, but it had no effect. Then I gave her probiotics for a few more days, and it still didn't work.

Doctor's answer:
A 6-month-old baby with diarrhea is likely caused by poor digestion. It is recommended to use Montmorillonite powder combined with external navel patches for treatment, which is effective. Pay close attention to preventing colds and avoid getting chilled. Offer the baby more fluids. If breastfeeding is not sufficient, it is necessary to provide the baby with additional complementary foods, such as rice porridge, which is well-absorbed.The above advice is in response to the question, "I want to ask if the baby can eat complementary foods during diarrhea. If so, how many times a day and what kinds of foods can they eat?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
