Question
When feeding an infant, after mixing Meizhenchen formula with Bayi formula in a 1:1 ratio, the infant developed symptoms of dry heaves and red rashes on the back of the head. How should this problem be resolved?
Answer
According to medical advice, the digestive disorders and allergic reactions experienced by the infant may be due to mixed feeding with different brands of formula. It is recommended to switch to a hypoallergenic formula (completely hydrolyzed protein formula) and delay the introduction of complementary foods to reduce the risk of allergies. Additionally, probiotics can be given to the infant to nourish the gut, and it is important to ensure that the infant consumes an adequate amount of plain water. As for the formula brands, the doctor believes that Meizhenchen has a more stable quality and is less likely to cause digestive problems.
