Patient's question:
The baby is still small, experiencing loose stools with a bowel movement up to 78 times a day, and the stomach makes gurgling sounds. Could you explain why the baby has loose stools when drinking breast milk but not when drinking formula?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you mentioned that a 19-day-old baby has diarrhea when eating breast milk but is fine with formula, which should be lactose intolerance. Based on what you described, you said that a 19-day-old baby has diarrhea when eating breast milk but is fine with formula, which should be lactose intolerance. In this case, I suggest not eating breast milk for now and switching to formula feeding for a period to see how it goes. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal, top-grade hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible based on their own condition, so that they can receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
