Question
A four-month-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea and a loss of appetite for a week, with the condition worsening in the last two days. What is the potential connection to mixed feeding?
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby’s stool has shown milk residue, which may be related to dyspepsia. It is recommended that the mother maintain a balanced diet, avoid consuming cold, spicy, greasy, and other stimulating foods, and gently massage the baby’s abdomen. Pay attention to keeping warm. Additionally, consider giving the baby oral probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. Since infants have weak resistance and are prone to various diseases, parents should take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner and avoid self-medicating the baby.
