Help Needed: Too scared to give her formula milk, afraid of causing loose stools, what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, a baby's diarrhea may be related to the following factors: First, improper feeding or, consuming unclean food can both cause diarrhea. There are also other factors, such as environmental influences, such as daily activity levels, which can affect intestinal motility. For example, if the motility increases, the child may have more frequent bowel movements or the stool may become looser. In some cases, we consider it normal, which is known as physiological changes. For instance, during the period of adding complementary foods from three to six months, after introducing new foods, the child may have an adjustment period where bowel movements increase in frequency or the stool consistency changes. If it is not severe and the child remains in good spirits, and if eating is not affected, then the mother can wait and see, allowing time to gradually manage the situation.
