Question
Hi doctors, my baby is seven months old and should be drinking stage two formula milk. But he mistakenly drank stage three formula milk. He currently has no symptoms like diarrhea. I want to ask if this is a problem? Do we need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby currently shows no abnormalities, which should be fine. It is recommended that you immediately switch back to stage two formula milk, pay attention to the amount of milk, gently massage the baby’s abdomen to aid digestion and absorption, and ensure the baby drinks more water. Making the correction now should suffice, and there is no need for a hospital examination. However, if the baby shows any discomfort or loss of appetite, it is advisable to seek medical attention. I hope these suggestions help you, and wish your baby health!
