Patient's question:
What is the reason for the large pieces of curd-like stool after the baby finishes drinking formula milk – is it an issue with the formula or is it due to poor digestion in the baby? The baby started having diarrhea after drinking formula milk, while breastfeeding was slightly better. So, we stopped giving formula milk. The routine stool test at the maternal and child health hospital showed 10 white blood cells, and the doctor diagnosed it as enteritis, prescribing Cefixime and Smectite. However, it didn't work, and things improved slightly after adding complementary foods.What kind of help do you want: I want to wean the baby, but the baby cannot tolerate formula milk. The baby is now 8 months old.
Doctor's answer:
Considering that children must consume formula milk, if they don't have breast milk, they need to eat formula. For the child's situation, it is recommended to train them to eat formula regularly, otherwise the child may suffer from malnutrition. Even if there is sufficient breast milk, formula should still be provided. Additionally, complementary foods should be offered. A child's daily milk intake should not be less than 600 milliliters.This is the advice for the question "Does the baby have large pieces of curd after drinking formula?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
