What to do if your baby has diarrhea when switching to new milk

You should pay special attention when changing your baby's milk. If diarrhea occurs, it means that if the diarrhea is not caused by illness, then there is a problem when changing the milk. For example, the bottles and nipples must be strictly cleaned and disinfected when changing the milk, otherwise residues may cause diarrhea in the baby. In addition, if the milk is not changed according to a certain number of days, problems will also occur if the time is too long or too short.

1. Many babies suffer from diarrhea when changing milk powder because they do not follow the instructions. Therefore, when changing milk powder, you must pay attention to scientific milk change and scientific preparation (follow the preparation instructions on the milk powder can). Babies with fragile intestines need to pay more attention. If the bottles, nipples or cups are not sterilized thoroughly, it may cause diarrhea in babies, especially during the period of weaning, which should be taken seriously. Therefore, parents should thoroughly sterilize feeding supplies.

2. If the baby does not have other diseases and the diarrhea is simply caused by the baby's intolerance to milk powder, you can give the baby probiotics to regulate the stomach and intestines and improve the balance of intestinal flora. You can also give your baby some steamed carrot puree or apple puree to relieve diarrhea symptoms. If your baby's diarrhea does not improve, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

3. There are two reasons why babies develop diarrhea after changing milk powder. The first is that the baby cannot absorb the nutrients in the milk powder, such as lactose intolerance. In this case, it is necessary to change to another milk powder.

4. In most cases, babies get diarrhea when changing milk powder because the milk powder is changed frequently or the method of changing milk powder is improper. It is neither good nor bad for babies to change milk powder frequently. The correct way to change milk powder is: on the first day, add 1/3 of new milk powder to the original milk powder. After two or three days of adaptation, if the baby can accept it, adjust the ratio to 1:1 and adapt for another two or three days. Then, change the ratio of new and old milk powder to 2:1 and adapt for another two or three days. Finally, completely transition to the new milk powder. Changing milk powder for babies is a regular process, and mothers must not take shortcuts.

5. At this time, the baby usually starts to add complementary food, so the mother can give the baby some carrot puree or apple puree to help the baby relieve the symptoms of diarrhea caused by changing milk powder. Babies with diarrhea can also take drugs such as Mami Love and Smecta under the guidance of a doctor to relieve symptoms. After the baby recovers, it is recommended to give the baby some children's probiotics to enhance the baby's intestinal immunity.

6. Cook the apples. A well-cooked apple has an astringent effect. Giving your baby one apple a day can help relieve diarrhea. When cooking apples, you should cook them in water or add some rock sugar, so that your baby will like them more.
