POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. If your 11-month-old baby is experiencing loose motions, here are some gentle Indian home remedies that may help:
1. **Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS):** Offer ORS in small sips at regular intervals to prevent dehydration.
2. **Bananas:** Ripe bananas can help firm up stools due to their binding effect.
3. **Rice Water:** Boil rice and use the water to make a thin, easily digestible gruel. This can help soothe the stomach.
4. **Curds (Yogurt):** Plain, unsweetened curds with live cultures can aid in restoring the balance of gut bacteria.
5. **Coconut Water:** Hydrating and contains electrolytes, which can be beneficial.
6. **Sabudana Water:** Boil sabudana (sago) to make a clear, starchy water that can be offered to the baby.
7. **Chamomile Tea:** If your baby is older and you have the approval of your pediatrician, chamomile tea (very diluted) can have a calming effect on the stomach.
8. **Avoid Spicy and Oily Foods:** Keep the baby's diet simple, avoiding spicy and oily foods until the condition improves.
Always consult with your pediatrician before trying home remedies, especially if your baby is very young. If there's persistent diarrhea, signs of dehydration, or if you're unsure, seek medical advice promptly.
