Question
A one-year-old boy has recently been experiencing abdominal issues, with his stools being irregular. After examination, no abnormalities were found. He has taken symptomatic anti-inflammatory and digestive medications but to no avail. I would like to know the cause of this abdominal condition and the appropriate amount of formula milk for a baby of the same age at night.
Answer
It is recommended to first try to continue breastfeeding as much as possible. If formula milk is chosen, consider selecting a brand that contains probiotics and has smaller protein molecules to help adjust the baby’s intestinal function and promote digestion and absorption. Formula feeding can help maintain the baby’s regular lifestyle, balanced nutrition, and regular bowel movements, as well as assist in weaning.
