Patient's question:
Four days ago, the baby had diarrhea after switching to a new formula without a gradual transition. Then, after stopping for a day and not eating, the bowel movements returned to normal. Yesterday, we switched back to the old formula, and the baby still has some diarrhea, but it's not very watery. The old formula has been used for a year, so why is the baby still having diarrhea? We are also taking probiotics. How should we feed the baby with the formula now?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of diarrhea in babies include improper feeding; physiological diarrhea, but the baby is growing well and does not appear to be losing weight. This condition is referred to as "infant physiological diarrhea"; abdominal cold; bacterial nausea and vomiting; and so on. Friend, it is still recommended that you first identify the specific cause of the diarrhea so that targeted treatment can be provided. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has diarrhea four days after switching formula without a gradual transition?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
