How to deal with a seven-month-old baby with poor digestion and diarrhea

Patient's question:

The baby is seven months old. They have been eating Enfamil since birth and have always been fine. Since they started eating at four months, they have had poor digestion and diarrhea. They switched to a diarrhea formula and it improved, but when they went back to Enfamil, they had diarrhea again. Their urine also contained feces!!!!!!

Doctor's answer:

Don't worry too much. My baby was also experiencing the most diarrhea when she was around four and a half months old, with up to 5-6 episodes a day. After switching to formula milk, we fed her in small amounts and more frequently. Advice: Most cases of baby diarrhea are due to poor digestion. You can give probiotics and smectite. Also, offer more boiled water and observe the baby's stool. Generally, it improves within 3-5 days! Diarrhea in babies under 6 months is usually physiological, so don't worry—it will be fine!
