Question
My child was eight months old when we stopped breastfeeding and introduced formula milk and solid food, and they started having diarrhea. What should I do?
Answer
The hard stool followed by soft stool in infants may be due to the incomplete maturation of the anal sphincter, and there is usually no need to be overly concerned. For diarrhea caused by indigestion, it is recommended that parents reduce medication use, ensure adequate water intake for the child, and pay attention to a reasonable diet combination. If diagnosed with a digestive system disease, seek medical attention immediately and cooperate with treatment. Parents should also pay attention to cultivating good eating habits in their children, avoiding picky eating and selective eating.
