#AskTheExpert .. loose stools for baby

Question

Accepted Answer

If baby is active and playful, no fever, passing adequate urine ie. minimum 6-8 times per day, then no need to worry for motion ( once in 7 days or 15 times per day- both conditions normal).

Don't give so much importance to motion unless blood in motion or bad smelling motion or white colour motion.

Keep ur baby well hydrated

Continue to give breast feed as well, till 1.5 yrs of age. Continue to give water and all other food items as before(no food restrictions).

Wait for some more days

Everything will be alright.

If blood in motion/persistant foul smelling motion or less urine output then consult with ur nearest pediatrician,

He will giude you in a better way

A popular Indian home remedy for loose motion, red lentils are excellent for the human digestive system! To cure your baby’s loose motion or diarrhoea, boil the red lentils in plenty of water. Let the lentils settle down, then strain the water and feed it to your baby. This water is loaded with fibre and energy which are both awesome for your baby’s stomach.
