Question
The baby has poor sleep quality, frequently waking up at night with crying, and is easily startled during the day. Additionally, the baby has been experiencing frequent diarrhea recently. Although the symptoms improved after taking medication, they soon returned. How should the baby’s diet and daily care be adjusted?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to determine the cause of the diarrhea, which can be ruled out through a routine stool test to exclude infection. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether the baby is allergic to certain foods or formula milk. If it is allergic diarrhea, it is advisable to avoid contact with allergens. For sleep issues, it is recommended to establish a regular schedule and minimize nighttime disturbances, such as unnecessary feeding or picking up the baby. If these measures are ineffective, it may be necessary to seek help from a professional doctor.
