POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. If your 1.5-year-old baby has been experiencing loose stools for a week, it could be caused by several factors such as viral infections, dietary changes, food intolerance, or even teething. Sometimes, babies develop loose stools after eating new foods or when they have an upset stomach. A common cause in young children is a viral infection (like rotavirus), which can lead to diarrhea for several days.
For home remedies:
Hydration: Ensure your baby stays hydrated by offering oral rehydration solution (ORS), water, or clear fluids. Dehydration can be a concern with loose stools. Bland diet: Offer simple foods like rice, bananas, applesauce, and toast (the BRAT diet) to help firm up stools. Avoid dairy: If your baby is having diarrhea, it may be helpful to temporarily avoid dairy products, as they can sometimes make diarrhea worse. Probiotics: You can try probiotic-rich foods (like yogurt) or pediatric probiotic supplements to help restore gut balance.
However, if the diarrhea persists or is accompanied by fever, vomiting, or signs of dehydration (like dry mouth or reduced urine output), it’s important to consult with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying infections or other issues.
