A. For a 6-month, 22-day-old baby experiencing loose motions (diarrhea), here are some steps you can take: 1. **Hydration**: - **Breastfeeding**: Continue breastfeeding as it provides hydration and essential nutrients. - **Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS)**: If the baby is formula-fed or you’re concerned about dehydration, you can offer ORS as per the pediatrician’s advice. - **Avoid Plain Water**: It can dilute the electrolytes in the baby's body. Use ORS or continue breastfeeding/formula feeding. 2. **Diet**: - **Breast Milk or Formula**: Continue with regular breastfeeding or formula feeding. - **Solid Foods**: If your baby has started on solids, you can offer bland, easy-to-digest foods like mashed bananas, applesauce, rice cereal, or plain yogurt. 3. **Monitor Symptoms**: - **Dehydration Signs**: Look for dry mouth, sunken eyes, decreased urination, or a sunken fontanel (soft spot on the head). - **Persistent Diarrhea**: If it continues for more than a day or two. - **Other Symptoms**: Fever, blood in stools, severe irritability, or lethargy. 4. **Cleanliness**: - **Diaper Changes**: Change diapers frequently to avoid diaper rash. - **Hygiene**: Ensure proper hygiene during feeding and after diaper changes to prevent infection. 5. **Consult a Pediatrician**: - If diarrhea persists for more than a day. - If the baby shows signs of dehydration. - If there is blood in the stools or a high fever. It’s important to get professional advice as babies can become dehydrated quickly. A pediatrician can provide the best guidance and may recommend specific treatments or tests if needed.
