POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. For a three-month-old baby, diarrhea can be due to several reasons:
1. Infections: Viral or bacterial infections are common causes. Rotavirus is a frequent viral cause in infants, and bacterial infections can come from contaminated formula, water, or improperly cleaned bottles.
2. Formula or Breast Milk Intolerance: Some babies may be sensitive to certain proteins in formula or something in the mother’s diet if breastfed. This can lead to gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea.
3. Change in Diet: If you've recently introduced a new formula or food, even for a taste, it might have upset your baby’s digestive system.
4. Antibiotics: If the baby or the mother (in case of breastfeeding) is on antibiotics, this can disturb gut flora, potentially causing diarrhea.
5. Teething: Although more common around six months or older, some babies experience mild diarrhea during teething due to increased saliva, which may lead to loose stools.
To manage this, ensure your baby stays hydrated, as diarrhea can lead to dehydration quickly in infants. Offer more frequent breastfeeding or formula, and if the diarrhea persists for more than a day, contains blood, or if the baby has a fever, consult a pediatrician promptly for a thorough evaluation and proper guidance.
