Patient's question:
My baby is five months old. Recently, I started giving her complementary foods. I add one new food at a time, once a day, and each food is introduced for 4–5 days. The amount each time is very small. However, no matter what I give her, she has diarrhea, smelly stools with bubbles. This should be indigestion, right? How can I introduce complementary foods? Please help me and tell me how to do it.Doctor's answer:
Hello. After a five-month-old baby started eating solid foods, they developed symptoms of diarrhea. This situation is likely due to the baby's immature gastrointestinal function. It may also be related to adding solid foods too quickly or in excessive amounts. If the baby is currently experiencing diarrhea, try reducing the amount of solid foods they eat. At the same time, you can take digestive aids to regulate their condition, which may help improve the baby's symptoms.
