2-year-old baby increases the number of milk drinking before bed

Patient's question:

The baby is 2 years and 4 months old! On the evening of September 24, we switched the baby to a new formula milk. On September 25, the baby had diarrhea with blood in the stool. The hospital tested the stool and diagnosed it as intestinal inflammation. The doctor prescribed Huanglian tablets! The next day, the diarrhea stopped! On the 27th, the baby didn't have a bowel movement, and the Huanglian tablets were stopped. On the 28th morning, the baby had a lot of bowel movements, which were a bit loose at the end. We gave the baby Huanglian tablets again! That day, in the afternoon and evening, the baby had soft bowel movements like ice cream, not watery in amount—neither too much nor too little! Today, the baby had bowel movements twice in the morning and evening! This is the baby's bowel movement situation! The urine output is no different from usual! But since switching to the new formula milk, the baby has needed to drink two rounds of milk before each bedtime, as he drinks it with too much water!

Doctor's answer:

It's nothing. Drinking milk is not bad for the child, and it can also supplement calcium. Drinking milk before bed allows for better calcium absorption, as the child's height development occurs during the deep sleep phase after falling asleep. Growth hormone is secreted in abundance during this time, promoting height growth. Does your family have a genetic history of diabetes? If not, the chances of a child this young developing diabetes are very low. Don't worry.
