Can babies with diarrhea drink formula?

Patient's question:

The baby is now more than six months old. Recently, it has had some diarrhea, and the symptoms are not particularly severe, but we don't know what caused it. Can the baby drink formula milk with diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

When the child has already started on solid foods, it is very likely to cause diarrhea in the child, because solid foods are added quite chaotically, and the child's digestive system is also quite fragile, easily susceptible to irritation, which can trigger diarrhea. In this case, there is no need to deliberately avoid drinking formula milk, because the relationship between drinking formula milk is actually not significant. Moreover, the child is still primarily consuming formula milk, so there is no need to stop using formula milk.
