Patient's question:
My baby is five months old. Recently, I started adding complementary foods for her. I add one new food at a time, once a day, and each food is given for 4-5 days. The amount each time is very small. However, no matter what I add, she has diarrhea, smelly stools with bubbles. This should be indigestion, right? How can I introduce complementary foods then? Please help me and tell me how to add complementary foods.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after adding complementary foods to a five-month-old baby, symptoms of diarrhea have appeared. This situation is still caused by the baby's gastrointestinal function not being particularly sound, and it may also be related to adding complementary foods too quickly or in excessive amounts. If the baby is currently experiencing some diarrhea, try to reduce the amount of complementary foods added, and at the same time, you can take digestive aid medication to regulate it, which can improve the baby's symptoms.
