Question
I have been breastfeeding, and I want to switch to formula milk. How should I do it? Besides his stomach issues, he always has diarrhea when taking medicine for his illnesses. What were the previous treatment situations and effects?
Answer
When he has diarrhea, should we just give him medicine? What kind of help are we looking for? Probiotics take time to regulate the gastrointestinal system, and the child’s gastrointestinal system is not fully developed yet. Probiotics can be taken continuously; my son has been taking them for a full year! They can nourish the gastrointestinal system, turning loose stools into normal ones and constipation into regular bowel movements. As long as the baby eats well, is energetic, and sleeps well during the nap, there is no big problem. There’s no need to worry too much.
