Asking for Other, Female, 1 years old, Multan
I give my son, Musa, 8 months old, freshmilk during the day time and powdered milk ( Meiji 2 ) at night ( almost 2 feedings ) since two months. He had no issues with this but now he's having diarrhoea. I want to ask is it okay to give both milks?
visit your Pediartician .
child needs clinical evaluation .. visit child specialist.
if u have started solid foods then give banana, khichri and ors to child.
ors after every diarrhea episode and plain water in between.
Why not Mothers milk superior to all Both milk can be given but diarrhea may be due to poor hygiene of feeder and milk sterlize feeder every time and boil milk every time quality of fresh milk may doughtfull better to give formula milk only and start weaning.Reduce the frequency of feeder
the risk of nutrition ur taking with fresh milk include....low vitamin D and inappropriate calcium phosphate ratios leading to poor bone growth....high animal fat which is non absorbable by small babies leading to gradual gut injury and long term consequences.....high casein protein again poor nutrition value for human babies leading to poor growth, deacrease appetite and poor weaning.....no iron leading to anaemia....high risk of cow milk protein allergies....high risk of environmental infections transmitted through animals....and the list gose on....in short there is no replacement of mother milk but if utmost required formula can be used....u fresh milk only option in very poor families who can't afford formula....still in such cases it is best to shift the babies to solid feed with more then 50% daily calories from solid food with 4 to 5 meals daily....u can use milk while making solid feed but in little quantities....current diarrhea could be acute episode could be associated with milk...
consult yours pediatrician and start rice water as well. you can add yogurt in child diet as well.
