Question
My child is seven months old and has diarrhea, with feces resembling egg whites. They have been taking Sibitada for three days. I would like to inquire if they can continue with only Sibitada, or do they need other medications as well? Such as Mamita. Is it suitable for them to take Babysprout granules?
Answer
Hello: You can take Babysprout granules, but they must be prescribed by a doctor. Babies with diarrhea should avoid drinking milk and eating watermelons, as these can exacerbate the diarrhea. If the baby has been on solid foods for some time and has consumed congee, then rice porridge and congee can be considered, especially millet congee. If vegetables have been introduced, vegetable or fruit congee can be made. This way, you don’t have to worry about excessive nutrient loss. You can give the baby ripe apple puree and carrot puree, which have astringent properties, and carrot congee is also a good choice. In addition, babies under one year old should not consume soy milk.
