POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If your 2-year-3-month-old boy has loose motions since yesterday, follow these steps to manage it:
1. Keep Him Hydrated
✅ Give ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) – 50-100 ml after each loose motion to prevent dehydration.
✅ Fluids – Coconut water, rice water, buttermilk, or plain water in small sips.
✅ Continue Breastfeeding/Formula – If still on milk, continue feeding as usual.
2. Safe Foods for Loose Motion
✅ BRAT Diet – Banana, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast help firm stools.
✅ Curd/Yogurt – Restores gut bacteria and helps digestion.
✅ Dal Khichdi & Moong Dal Soup – Gentle on the stomach and nutritious.
✅ Mashed Potato or Carrot Soup – Helps bind stool.
3. Foods to Avoid
❌ Avoid juices, sweets, milk (except curd), fried & spicy foods.
4. Watch for Warning Signs (Consult a Doctor If:)
⚠️ Loose motions continue for more than 3 days
⚠️ Signs of dehydration – Dry lips, less urine, sunken eyes
⚠️ Baby is extremely weak or drowsy
⚠️ Fever above 102°F or blood in stools
If needed, I can suggest baby-safe medicines, but let me know if symptoms worsen!
