Diarrhea in babies is medically known as “pediatric diarrheal disease”, a group of gastrointestinal syndromes caused by multiple pathogens and factors, characterized by an increase in the number of stools and changes in stool characteristics. Pediatric diarrheal disease mostly occurs in infants and young children under 3 years old, with a high incidence from 6 months to 2 years old, and is one of the main causes of malnutrition and growth disorders in children. So, can babies still drink milk powder with diarrhea? Whether or not your baby can drink milk powder for diarrhea, the main thing that should be clarified is the cause of your baby’s diarrhea. If your baby’s diarrhea is caused by changing different segments and brands of milk powder in the process of changing milk, then you must pay attention to the gradual change of milk for your child and not completely change to the new milk at once. If your baby’s diarrhea is caused by lactose intolerance, you need to give your child lactose-free milk powder at this time, which will relieve your baby’s diarrhea symptoms. Excluding these two possibilities, diarrhea due to other causes can be fed with formula. The amount of formula to be fed should be reduced appropriately, and a little more water should be added to the milk. If parents find that their baby has severe diarrhea, it is advisable to switch to lactose-free formula, or deeply hydrolyzed formula at this time. Note that the amount of milk powder given to the baby must be reduced. If your baby does not have enough to eat, you can give your baby some rice soup or congee, but no juice, fruit or other foods. It is important to note that diarrhea formula cannot be eaten all the time, you can wait until the diarrhea improves 1 week and then slowly convert to the original formula. If your baby was drinking breast milk before, there is no need to switch, just let your baby continue to drink breast milk. It is recommended to take lactase orally 15 minutes before each feeding.
