Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could switching formula cause diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after switching to a new formula, the baby has developed diarrhea symptoms, which is likely due to an inability to adapt to the new formula. It's important to manage the transition carefully. Start by adding a small amount initially, and gradually switch to the new formula as the baby adjusts. Generally, infant abdominal pain has the following characteristics: different crying sounds and facial expressions compared to usual, abdominal weakness, diarrhea, curling the legs towards the stomach, intense crying, and crouching with the body curled around the abdomen. Parents should pay attention to whether the child is alert.
