Question
My baby is already 20 months old, but their teeth haven’t fully grown in yet, and they’re not very interested in eating. They mainly rely on formula milk, which has led to extremely dry and hard stools. The doctor’s advice varies; some suggest eating honey, some suggest taking laxatives, and others recommend adding sugar. What should I do?
Answer
Hello! Your baby is 20 months old and can continue drinking formula milk until they are over 3 years old. It’s important to supplement their diet. Even if your baby isn’t very interested in eating, you should try to encourage them to eat more vegetables, proteins, and vitamins to maintain a balanced nutrition. If there’s indigestion, consider supplementing with some digestive nutrients such as papain enzyme, which is convenient to use and has no side effects. It’s important to adjust your baby’s dietary habits, and these conditions will improve. The fewer teeth may be related to calcium content, so it’s recommended to check your baby’s trace elements for targeted nutritional supplementation because it has no side effects and is within a reasonable range.
