Question
Assistance Check: The baby frequently sucks its fingers, so a soothing pacifier was purchased for use. However, the baby is now teething, and the teeth are growing crooked. Is there a problem? Can it be corrected? Additionally, the baby has developed diarrhea after weaning. How should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may be having difficulty adapting to changes in dietary habits after weaning, leading to diarrhea. Dietary-induced diarrhea may include overeating or undereating, as well as changes in food composition, such as excessive or insufficient sugar intake. Moreover, it is uncertain whether this is related to formula milk. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a check-up to ensure that the baby’s healthy development is not affected by long-term diarrhea. As for the issue of crooked teeth growth, it is advised to consult a professional dentist for more specialized correction advice.
