Question
My baby is 6 months old and has reached the stage to start eating Wyeth S-26. Initially, I mixed the formula 1 and 2 in equal parts, and the stool was normal. However, now that I am feeding only the 2nd formula, the baby has diarrhea 5-6 times a day, and it’s very loose. Can anyone tell me what to do???
Answer
It is evident that the baby’s stool has become looser during the milk formula switching period, which is due to intestinal discomfort caused by the change. For this situation, it should be immediately stopped to add more of the new formula, while carefully observing the intestinal function. Generally speaking, babies fed with milk formula tend to have slightly drier stool symptoms. Normal stool should not be loose, and its color should be yellow. I suggest you closely monitor and avoid catching a cold from wind and coldness, avoid overeating and excessive drinking, and if necessary, take treatment with Mamylove.
