Question

Can a baby with diarrhea and dehydration be fed milk immediately?

Answer

Based on the described situation, if a baby is experiencing diarrhea-induced dehydration, it is necessary to administer timely fluid replacement treatment. In this case, it is recommended to give the baby oral rehydration salts for replenishment. Generally, it is best to wait about half an hour after administering the attapulgite powder before giving the baby the oral rehydration salts to avoid the attapulgite powder affecting the absorption of electrolytes.
