Question
A 1.5-year-old boy has been having white and slightly loose stools since he stopped breastfeeding and switched to artificial feeding. The boy is developing normally physically and intellectually. However, he has a condition of enamel deficiency and has not received any treatment. What is the cause of this consultation and what suggestions are sought for related treatment or improvement in feeding methods?
Answer
Pay attention to keeping the child warm, especially preventing the abdomen from getting cold. While the child is sleeping, you can let him wear a cotton belly cover to prevent his abdomen from being exposed when he kicks off the blanket. Absolutely do not let the child drink any milk-containing products, including breast milk. For now, simply allow the child to drink white rice porridge with a little salt added.
