When can complementary foods be added after a baby has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

The baby had diarrhea a few weeks ago, and now they have at least 2-3 bowel movements per day. The stool is pasty and yellow in color. Is this stool normal now? Can eggs be added? When they weren't having diarrhea, the stool was formed.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: When the baby has diarrhea, it is best to reduce the feeding of complementary foods. Suggestions: Now that the diarrhea has basically improved, you can add complementary foods, but you can eat small meals more often. If the diarrhea worsens after adding complementary foods, you need to stop.
