Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Can baby goat milk formula be replaced with cow milk formula?Doctor's answer:
From a health perspective, it is not recommended to frequently change the brand of formula, as a baby's gastrointestinal system is not yet fully developed and is easily susceptible to irritation, leading to discomfort symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea. Changing the stage of formula or the brand of formula requires a gradual transition period, which generally takes 1-2 weeks. Considering that this may be due to a lack of trace elements in the baby, some calcium supplements and AD capsules can be used for regulation. Additionally, it is important to get more sun exposure regularly, and if necessary, a detailed check-up can be done at the pediatric department.
