75-day-old baby has a severe reaction to weaning and has diarrhea. What should I do?

Patient's question:

The baby is formula-fed. Since last night, when starting to feed, the baby made cooing sounds. Around 3 a.m., the baby had a major spit-up, and after that, feeding became intermittent, with only small amounts being consumed. Subsequently, the baby's stomach made gurgling sounds, passed gas, and had multiple bowel movements. The gas also contained some stool. The color and consistency of the stool were normal.

Doctor's answer:

Appearing with vomiting and diarrhea during feeding, it may be caused by a gastrointestinal cold due to catching a cold. Drink more warm water, pay attention to keeping warm, and you can take some Smecta and Mammae. The milk powder should not be made too concentrated. If the number of bowel movements is frequent, you can also feed some oral rehydration salts.
