Question
I started weaning my baby on the 7th of this month, and by the 10th, they started having diarrhea! They won’t eat formula milk! I just feed them congee! They have 4.5 meals a day! Is it because they’re eating too much? And they also have a fever!
Answer
Generally, when a baby is weaned, they may experience various intestinal discomforts, which could be related to improper feeding, but it usually wouldn’t lead to high fever. If there is high fever, it’s generally considered to be due to bacterial or viral infections. I suggest you take your baby to the hospital for a blood routine and stool routine check-up. This will help guide the treatment more effectively. Also, give your baby plenty of warm water and pay close attention to their overall condition.
