Patient's question:
My baby is 20 months old, but only has 14 teeth. He doesn't like to eat and mainly drinks formula. His bowel movements are very dry and hard. Some doctors recommend eating honey, others suggest taking laxatives, and some suggest adding sugar. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The baby is already 20 months old. It should continue to drink formula milk until it is over 3 years old. Supplementary food is very important. If the baby doesn't like to eat, the mother needs to find a solution. Don't change the routine. Let the baby eat more vegetables, protein, and vitamins to balance it. Indigestion. Give him some nutrients that are good for digestion. I know a papain digestive enzyme. It is very easy to use. It has no side effects. The most important thing is to adjust the diet. These symptoms will disappear. Fewer teeth. It may be related to calcium content. I suggest you check the baby for trace elements. This way, you will understand the baby's condition. You can supplement some nutrients accordingly. Because it has no side effects. And medication is allowed.
