Baby is 13 months old and switched to stage 3 formula, experiencing loose stools. How to treat it?

Patient's question:

The frequency is not high, once a day, but it's just shapeless and mushy stools. Is it because the baby is not adapted to the three-stage formula? How to treat loose stools when switching to three-stage formula at thirteen months?

Doctor's answer:

Changing the baby's formula shouldn't be done too early. The child's digestive system might not be as strong. You can let the child eat the second stage formula for a longer period of time before switching to the third stage. If the child still has digestive issues, leading to loose stools, you can understand the need for symptomatic treatment while also using home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily diet, it's crucial to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and never overeat.
