Patient's question:
I was previously breastfeeding, and I have recently returned to my hometown. I have started giving the child formula, and we have stopped breastfeeding. In the past few days, I've noticed that the child is having difficulty starting to poop, something that never happened when they were breastfeeding. Is this due to the formula or because they are not to the new environment?Doctor's answer:
Many babies who drink formula milk often get constipated. After having a stomachache, they may experience difficulty defecating again, as you mentioned. In this case, it is recommended to dilute the formula milk appropriately when preparing it. If the baby is ready for solid foods, you can give them some bananas.This is the advice regarding the question, "Is this due to insufficient formula milk or discomfort with the local environment?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness every day!
