Can babies drink formula when they have diarrhea?

Whether the baby can drink milk powder for diarrhea, the main reason should be clear to cause the baby’s diarrhea. If the baby’s diarrhea is caused by replacing 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 you can’t completely change to the new milk at once. If the baby’s diarrhea is caused by lactose intolerance, then you need to give your child lactose-free milk powder, which will alleviate the symptoms of the baby’s diarrhea. Excluding these two possibilities, diarrhea caused by other reasons can drink milk powder. The amount of formula to be fed should be appropriately reduced, and a little more water should be added to the milk. However, if the baby’s diarrhea is very severe, it is not recommended to eat normal formula, and it is recommended to switch to lactose-free formula, i.e. diarrhea formula. This is because repeated diarrhea can cause secondary lactose intolerance, if you eat normal formula, it may aggravate diarrhea, or cause diarrhea to be prolonged, so it is recommended to switch to lactose-free milk powder. The baby in the diarrhea can also eat rice soup, thin rice porridge, noodles, drink more water as appropriate, can not eat the food include: fish, meat, eggs and so on. If the baby was breastfed before, there is no need to switch and continue to let the baby drink breastmilk. It is recommended to take lactase orally 15 minutes before each feeding. After the diarrhea has improved for 1 week, slowly convert the diarrhea milk powder to the original formula.
