Question

The baby is two months and ten days old and has been fed formula milk exclusively, but continues to have curd-like discharges. At such a young age, can the baby switch to another brand of formula milk? What risks are involved in switching formula milk for such a young baby? Or should the baby be older before switching? What impact does continuously having curd-like discharges have on the baby?

Answer

Based on the description provided, switching to a different formula milk is possible and harmless to the baby. Considering that the baby may have gastrointestinal dysfunction and intestinal flora imbalance, it can be tried to apply cold compresses or massage around the navel area of the baby, and to take probiotics orally to stabilize the intestinal flora. There is no need to be overly anxious or worried. The above suggestions are intended to help answer the question “Does a baby need to switch formula milk if they continuously have curd-like discharges?” and hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
