Question
The 7-month-old baby started experiencing diarrhea symptoms two days ago, with at least two episodes per night, sometimes three or even four. The situation has not improved after administering Mommy Love formula. Although the baby’s spirits are still good, what should be done to effectively improve the condition?
Answer
- Ensure the baby receives enough nutrition by focusing on breastfeeding.
- Make sure the baby has ample hydration by increasing the frequency of water intake after each bowel movement to prevent dehydration.
- Allow the digestive system to rest by temporarily stopping all complementary foods and avoiding feeding other foods randomly.
- Promote the excretion of toxins by avoiding anti-diarrheal medications.
- Help normal bacteria grow by not using antibiotics if there is no infection.
- Promote the recovery of absorption function by using cross-linked vitamin B or digestive enzymes.
