Question
What should I do if my baby has dry stool after drinking formula milk? Can you suggest any methods? Previous treatment and its effectiveness: Drinking water. What kind of help do I need: Please give me a good answer.
Answer
Dry stool in babies after drinking formula milk is caused by casein combining with calcium and magnesium ions to form hard stool lumps. First, try switching to a different brand of formula milk, as some formulas with oligosaccharide formulations can help soften the stool. Second, you can massage the abdomen around the navel in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal peristalsis and aid in defecation. Third, if necessary, you can use Simo Decoction for treatment. Fourth, if your baby has already been given complementary foods, it may be necessary to temporarily stop providing them.
