If a baby develops diarrhea after drinking formula, stop feeding the formula temporarily to give the baby's digestive system time to rest. In addition, maintain good hygiene in the baby's diet by regularly cleaning bottles and nipples to prevent bacterial infections. During episodes of diarrhea, ensure the baby receives adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Monitor the baby's symptoms closely; if the diarrhea persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly. Under a doctor's guidance, it may be necessary to switch to a different brand or type of formula that is better suited to the baby's digestive system.
