Patient's question:
My child was weaned when he was eight months old. Around seven months, we started adding formula and solid foods, beginning with apple puree, rice powder, pigeon egg yolk, etc. He didn't have any diarrhea after eating them. Later, we added green pea puree once, but after eating it, he had indigestion and lost his appetite.Doctor's answer:
If the baby only has an increased frequency of bowel movements without other symptoms, has a good appetite, does not vomit, and shows no impact on growth and development, it is not caused by illness. After adding complementary foods, the bowel movements will gradually return to normal. There is no need for excessive worry.For babies with "physiological diarrhea," there is no need for medication. Generally, switching to cow's milk or other dairy products can be effective. If you do not want to wean the baby, you can also shorten the feeding time each time, allowing the baby to only consume the first half of the milk, which is rich in protein and low in fat, to improve the condition.
