What is the reason for children often having diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My baby is four months old. I don't know why, but since starting complementary foods, she has been experiencing frequent diarrhea. The foods are very hygienic and fresh, but she still has frequent diarrhea. I don't know what to do or if it's related to starting complementary foods. But we can't just stop feeding her either. What kind of help is needed: What could be causing frequent diarrhea in young children?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby often has diarrhea after being introduced to solid food. Based on the baby's condition, it is considered that the diarrhea is caused by feeding too much solid food. When introducing solid food, it should be added one by one, and the quantity should be gradually increased bit by bit. It is also necessary to carefully observe the stool condition. If there are undigested foods or if the stool smells sour, the amount of solid food should be reduced, otherwise it may easily cause nausea and vomiting. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does the child often have diarrhea?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you health!
