Question

What to Do If a Baby Has Diarrhea After Drinking Formula?

Answer

If the baby does not have an infection, has normal bowel movements, and is not infected with rotavirus, diarrhea may be related to diet. For breastfed babies, it might be due to the mother consuming overly greasy or cold foods; for formula-fed babies, it could be because of improper water source or cleaning of the milk bottle, or the baby catching a cold. It is suggested to try using medications like Dinggui Er navel sticker, Simida, or MamiAi to initially alleviate the diarrhea symptoms.
