Question
The baby had diarrhea after switching to a new formula milk, which improved after taking probiotics, but there are still egg-flower-like substances in the stool. When should I stop giving the baby medication, and can I feed him/her some oily food?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s diarrhea after switching to a new formula milk is likely due to gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to give the baby oral probiotics, montmorillonite powder, and multienzyme tablets for treatment. Diet should primarily consist of easily digestible foods and avoid greasy and high-fat foods. You can try feeding the baby oily food; if the symptoms ease, there is no need to restrict it.
