Emergency: Baby has diarrhea, sleeps well, but has poor appetite. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Baby is 21 days old and being mixed-fed; Initially, everything was fine; but recently, 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; but she eats it; She eats for a bit and then sleeps, sometimes for two hours at a time; She doesn't have a bowel movement for 12 hours; Desperate for 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. Pay attention to observing the baby regularly. The key to diarrhea is to prevent the baby from dehydration. 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 orally to stop diarrhea. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
