A. Loose motions in a 1-year-6-month-old baby can be caused by various factors, including viral or bacterial infections, teething, changes in diet, or food intolerances. Here are some steps you can take to manage and treat loose motions: 1. **Keep the Baby Hydrated**: The most important thing is to ensure your baby stays hydrated. Offer plenty of fluids such as water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), and breast milk or formula. Avoid giving fruit juices or sugary drinks, as they can worsen diarrhea. 2. **Monitor for Signs of Dehydration**: Watch for signs of dehydration, including fewer wet diapers, dry mouth, no tears when crying, sunken eyes, or lethargy. If you notice these signs, seek medical attention immediately. 3. **Continue Feeding**: Continue to feed your baby their regular diet, but focus on bland, easily digestible foods like rice, bananas, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet). Avoid fatty, fried, or spicy foods that can irritate the stomach further. 4. **Maintain Good Hygiene**: Ensure good hand hygiene for anyone handling the baby, especially after diaper changes, to prevent the spread of any infection. 5. **Check for Additional Symptoms**: Look for other symptoms like fever, vomiting, or blood in the stool. If your baby has any of these symptoms, consult a pediatrician. 6. **Consult a Pediatrician**: If the loose motions persist for more than a day, or if you are concerned about your baby's condition, it is best to consult a pediatrician. They can provide appropriate guidance, recommend medications, or conduct tests if necessary. If you have any additional information or symptoms to share, feel free to let me know!
