A. Loose motions may occur due to some infection or if chronic than could be some malabsorption. Initially you can give zinc supplement for 2 weeks and probiotic like econorm sachet for 3 days for two times a day. For any specific treatment with antibiotics,consult your doctor and maintain proper hydration . can give khichdi,sabudana , mashed potato ,ripe banana, poha if the baby is above 6 months of age, maintain proper hydration by giving plenty of fluids. if there is any stomach ache in a baby above one year of age drotin h.ds syrup can be given under medical advice.usually during the teething phase loose motion is commonly seen in the babies because children have a tendency to put their dirty fingers into the mouth or any other object due to irritation in the gums.
