Mom of a 5 yr 1 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

My 11 month old generally passes 2-3 stools per day. Today he had passed 5-6 times. Only a couple of times the stool looked watery. Other times it was normal. Should i consider it as dehydration or is it normal?

A. Loose motion could be because of some infection or if chronic than could be some malabsorption. Initially you can give zinc supplement for 2 weeks and probiotic like enterogermina twice a day for 3 days. For any specific treatment consult your doctor. can give khichdi ,mashed potato, ripe banana poha if the baby is above 6 momh.nths of age, maintain proper hydration by giving plenty of fluids.ors can also be given.
