What should I do if my baby gets "heatiness" from drinking formula milk?
Disease description:
This morning, the child woke up with eye discharge around the eyes, seeming a bit overheated. What should be done if a baby drinking formula experiences "heatiness"?
When formula-fed babies experience "heatiness," it's important to promptly increase their water intake. Generally, breastfed babies do not require additional water, as breast milk is composed of about 80% water. However, formula-fed infants can be given an appropriate amount of water, though excessive intake should be avoided, as it may interfere with the absorption of nutrients and lead to malnutrition. Additionally, increasing the intake of vitamins and trace elements can be beneficial. For babies experiencing heatiness who develop symptoms such as thick tongue coating or nausea, gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction around the navel may help.
