Question
Why does my baby have diarrhea after eating solid foods at 8 months old?
Answer
At 8 months old, your baby has started on solid foods and is now experiencing diarrhea, occurring four to five times a day without any mucus. Is this normal, and what should I do? Up until now, your baby’s health has been good, but starting from the 15th, they have been having diarrhea four to five times a day. Based on your description, it seems that your baby might be suffering from dyspepsia, which could be related to weakened spleen and stomach. If your baby is in good spirits, sleeping well, and their diet is still good, I recommend giving them oral probiotics and Wensui Yang’er Granules. Increase the solid food slightly and reduce the amount of formula milk they consume. Monitor the situation closely for a few days. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby health and happiness.
