Question
My baby is eight months old and usually drinks formula. But today, the formula ran out, and the order we placed hasn’t arrived yet. Last week, the baby had diarrhea and drank an emetic vomiting powder. Can we give them a little now?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the emetic vomiting powder you mentioned is also formula, right? If it is indeed formula, the child can drink it. It’s not just for stopping diarrhea; if it’s only for stopping diarrhea, it would be medicine, not formula. I suggest continuing with a normal diet or purchasing a can of formula from a maternity store to have while waiting. These are my suggestions for the question “Can a baby drink formula after having diarrhea?” I hope this helps and wish you and your baby good health!
