Baby is almost 8 months old, started eating egg and beef porridge at 7 months, bowel movements

Patient's question:

The baby is almost 8 months old. Starting from 7 months, we have been feeding him egg and beef congee, rice powder, rice porridge, and more. Formula milk has not been stopped either. We noticed that the baby's poop is not like before, covering the entire diaper, but rather small, hard pellets, sometimes resembling sheep dung. Why is this?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your previous description of the condition, the hard stool is related to the relatively thick consistency of the milk formula and the consumption of high-fiber foods. It is recommended that when you prepare milk formula for your child, do not make it too thick, and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and ensure adequate physical activity. This is the complete introduction to the question "What should I do if my baby starts eating egg and beef congee around 7-8 months and has abnormal bowel movements?" Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
