Patient's question:
What discomforts might infants and young children experience when switching to formula milk during the summer? Please help experts answer the question, thank you very much. I want to change my baby's formula.Doctor's answer:
Hello:Typically, infant formula is primarily based on cow's milk. Although there are some differences, no enzymes can help babies digest it. Therefore, it is recommended to alternate between different formulas.
The basic principle of switching formulas is to reduce one teaspoon of the original formula and replace it with one teaspoon of the new formula. If the baby shows no adverse reactions, you can proceed to replace the second teaspoon.
The most common discomfort caused by formula switching is "diarrhea," but most cases are due to improper preparation of the formula. Therefore, it is important to carefully read the can label when switching formulas.
Secondly, it may cause "allergic reactions," such as skin itching, rashes, and other symptoms. This occurs when the new formula differs significantly from the original one.
