A. For a 3-month-old baby suffering from diarrhea, it’s important to focus on hydration and monitoring carefully. At this age, diarrhea can lead to dehydration quickly, so follow these steps: Continue breastfeeding – Breast milk provides hydration and helps with immunity. Nurse more frequently. Hydration – If the baby is formula-fed, offer oral rehydration solution (ORS) or electrolyte solution (as recommended by your pediatrician) to prevent dehydration. Avoid regular water or juice for infants this age. Monitor for dehydration signs – such as dry mouth, fewer wet diapers, sunken eyes, or lethargy. If these occur, seek immediate medical attention. Avoid solid foods or new formula – Stick to breast milk or the baby’s regular formula. Track the frequency and consistency of stools – If diarrhea lasts more than 2–3 days, or if you notice blood or mucus in the stool, contact the pediatrician. Most importantly, consult your doctor immediately if your baby is under 3 months old and has diarrhea, as infants this young are more vulnerable to complications.
