What should I do if the baby feels nauseous, vomits, and has diarrhea after drinking formula milk?

Patient's question:

The baby was exclusively breastfed for the first five months. Recently, I noticed that the milk isn't enough, so I started adding moderate hydrolyzed formula in the past two days, twice a day, 165 milliliters each time. Since last night, the baby has been vomiting and nausea, about five to six times, with a lot of mucus in the stool. Just now, they vomited three times after dry heaving. When I held them for a nap, they fell asleep but then vomited. What is wrong with the baby?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it could be due to a food change that caused the child to become unaccustomed, or it might be that the formula stage you are using is not suitable for the child. Further examination is needed.
When feeding the baby, pay attention to hygiene. Always keep the nipple clean, and ensure hand hygiene after changing the baby's diaper. The baby's bowel movements are closely related to the mother's diet, so the mother should pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, and avoid fried and junk foods, as well as soy products and peanut products. The diet should be regular.
