Patient's question:
Baby is 21 days old and being mixed-fed;Initially, everything was fine;
Lately, she started having diarrhea:
As soon as she eats formula, she has a bowel movement within 1 to 2 minutes;
Now, I’m afraid to feed her formula and only give her breast milk;
However, she eats it well;
She eats, then sleeps for 2 hours at a time;
She doesn’t have a bowel movement for 12 hours—please help!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your situation, the baby developed diarrhea after drinking formula milk. You can temporarily stop giving formula milk for a few days and take some probiotics. It's important to monitor the baby regularly. The key to diarrhea is to prevent dehydration in the baby. If necessary, you can go to the hospital for a diagnosis to avoid delaying the condition. It is recommended to take pepsin compound orally to aid digestion, probiotics orally to regulate the gastrointestinal tract, and montmorillonite oral suspension to stop diarrhea. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
