Question

The baby is seven months old and has a small amount of diarrhea and soft stool, with a normal yellow color. After taking probiotics, there has been no improvement. Trying cooked carrots and sugar water has also been unsuccessful. This condition has been ongoing for two days, and parents are asking for advice on how to handle it.

Answer

This situation may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction in infants, leading to changes in stool consistency, possibly accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The following measures are recommended for parents:

  1. Reduce the baby’s diet and temporarily stop complementary feeding to lower the pressure on the gastrointestinal tract.
  2. Continue to take probiotics seriously and consider adding Montmorillonite powder to regulate the gastrointestinal system.
  3. Pay attention not to overfeed the baby with complementary foods to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal system.
  4. Increase the baby’s fluid intake, eat light, and consider cooking millet congee for the baby to consume.
