Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My 6-month-old daughter had just had some puree (veggies and potatoes) with milk and after that she produced watery stool. Is this something we should be concerned about or normal, considering she is taking the NAN HA2 (hypoallergenic formula) and puree? She appears healthy, smiling, and is fully vaccinated.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

What your child is experiencing is known as infant diarrhea. It is a common phenomenon when new foods are introduced during the weaning-off period and may last on and off until the child reaches three years. Such motions last for two to three days and usually do not cause discomfort or dehydration. As long as the child is active and comfortable, not dehydrated, and not losing weight, you need not worry. Usually, no medications are required in such circumstances.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

To clarify, she takes roughly five bottles (between 150 and 180 ml) of NAN HA2 and puree (carrots and potatoes) daily. The last time we checked her, her weight was progressing well.

Kindly help.
