What should I give my baby to stop diarrhea?
What should I give my baby to stop diarrhea?
Shipra Mathur
hi Sudha, you can speed up gut healing by giving probiotics like curd and food such as banana, rice . more importantly keep up with the fluids to prevent dehydration. Most diarrhoeas are viral and will take 3-4 days to settle.
My baby is sensitive to bananas. He stops pooping if I give banana.
Normally also, if I give him banana, his poop stops
Shipra Mathur
ok, usually that is how it would help in diarrhoea but if not comfortable, opt for apple/rice dal/rice curd type food
Ok. Thank you.

Hi Vicas, yes babies are prone to diarrhoea when teething as they often introduce infection by constantly taking things in their mouth to ease the gum irritation during teething. Its is usually a mild infection.
What should I give her? She is very cranky these days...
Shipra Mathur
how old is she?
she is 6 months now
Shipra Mathur
To bite on - washed carrot may be given. sometimes over the counter teething gels help or if very uncomfortable even paracetamol drops.
Okay Dr. thanks

It may take 4-5 days for loose motions to stop. Appetite may take longer to return. offer plenty of fluids, and diet that includes banana, apple, rice dal, yogurt etc. non spicy food.
Shoul I give khichdhi? Or dalia?
Shipra Mathur
Both are ok to give
Thank you for the help.

hi, is your baby breast or bottle fed? if bottle fed, take extra care with keeping the bottles clean. Feed frequently as the fluid requirement goes up at this time.
Breastfed mam.
Shipra Mathur
ok, how many times a day and for how long now ?
He stoold for 2-3 times a day.. mostly watery stool. Been 2-3 days now.
Shipra Mathur
ok, the frequency is not high..watch for a a couple of days more. should settle on its own as the body adjusts to digesting the milk.
Ok mam. thank you.

My baby is not wetting as many diapers as earlier. He is 9 months now. He is peeing very less. Also vomits sometimes when we feed him. What to do?
Shipra Mathur
hi zara, he would be peeing less if his fluid intake is not sufficient. If the vomiting is frequent and large, that could be the reason. You may need to see a doctor if it carries on like this.
Shipra Mathur
Continue to offer him frequent feeds and fluids. If any fever/ discomfort when passing urine - please get it tested for possible infection.
okay doctor. Will take him to a doctor today itself.
He isn't having fever... but is very irritable these days
Shipra Mathur
yes, worth making sure that he is not getting dehydrated then.
Yes. thank you!
Shipra Mathur

My baby is 8 months old. He's having blackish poop for the past 2 days. Is this normal? Please help. Also, he is not peeing much.
Shipra Mathur
Hi Parul, A dark green/brown poop is not unusual . but a black colour may be due to iron supplements ..is he taking any ?
No.
He is not taking in fluids regularly... just wants to be breastfed.
Shipra Mathur
That can be a reason for the reduced urine ...offer him more water also to keep him well hydrated.
ok.
Shipra Mathur
does the black colour corelate with any new food that has taken?
No mam. We haven't given any new food.
Shipra Mathur
You can increase his fluids and see if that helps. if not, you may need to get a simple stool check .
ok mam. thanks
Shipra Mathur

My baby is a year old now. For the last 2-3 months, he often is down with mild fever, and vomits. What to do?
Shipra Mathur
hi vikram, he may be picking up viral infections...If the episodes are short lived, then not much of a worry. in any case, we would need to ensure a healthy nutritious diet for him to build his immunity
yes. What should I give him in this case?
the fever usually lasts 2 days and then he is okay...
Shipra Mathur
at that time paracetamol syrup for the fever. Check with your doctor his wt/growth and the need for any supplements..
okay.
what diet should be followed?
Shipra Mathur
A diet that includes seasonal fruits and others like apple/banana, green vegetable, dal or if you are non vegetarians, then eggs/meat too.
Shipra Mathur
at 1 year now, he can eat what the family is eating
ok. thank you mam

My baby is teething, she is getting fever, and is also vomiting. At first I thought that it is because of her teething, but now I am worried. She has started getting little blood in her stool... What to do?
Shipra Mathur
hi, teething can cause a mild diarrhoea ...what are her motions like ?
watery...
Shipra Mathur
ok, it seems to be a stomach infection with vomiting/fever and loose motions. If there has been blood in the motions also , then she would need to be examined to assess dehydration and medication accordingly.
Ok Shipra Ji. I will take her to a doctor.
thank you.
Shipra Mathur
take care !
