Question

Accepted Answer

If a toddler is experiencing loose motions, it's generally advisable to provide easily digestible and binding foods. Rice and dal (lentils) are often recommended in such situations as they are gentle on the stomach and can help firm up stools.

Here's a simple recipe that you can consider:

**Khichdi:**
Ingredients:
- Rice
- Yellow Moong Dal (split yellow lentils)
- Water
- A pinch of turmeric (optional)

Instructions:
1. Wash equal parts of rice and moong dal.
2. Cook them together in a pot with water. You can add a pinch of turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties (optional).
3. Cook until both rice and dal are soft and well-cooked.

Ensure the khichdi is well-cooked and mashed to make it easily digestible. You may also consider consulting with your pediatrician for specific dietary recommendations based on your toddler's condition. It's important to monitor for signs of dehydration and seek medical attention if the loose motions persist or worsen.
