Changing formula for babies can have a certain impact on their digestion and nutrition. If it is not necessary, do not change formula very frequently. But sometimes due to some reasons, such as the lack of nutrients needed by babies in formula, it is necessary to change the formula for babies, which may cause some abnormal gastrointestinal symptoms in the short term. So, what are the symptoms of the baby's stomach after changing milk powder?
During the process of changing formula, the baby may experience diarrhea or constipation. There are differences in the performance of different babies when changing formula. Some babies have good physical fitness and strong adaptability, and may not have much reaction when changing formula. However, babies with sensitive digestive systems may experience diarrhea, bloating, or constipation due to excessive heat. The frequency of bowel movements may change significantly, such as increasing or decreasing, and the shape and color of their stool may also change slightly.
In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms, babies changing formula may also have mild allergic reactions, such as eczema or red spots on the skin, vomiting or nausea, and poor appetite, which should be treated correctly. You can apply some ointment to the baby to relieve skin discomfort, and take some probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. After a period of time, the baby will gradually accept new formula.
When changing formula, it is advisable to let the baby adapt as early as possible. For example, do not abruptly change the baby's formula directly, but add a small amount. First, mix the old formula and the new formula in a ratio of four to one for the baby to drink. Observe for two to three days to see if there are any abnormalities in the stool, and then replace it if there are no abnormalities.
