POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. If your 7-month-old baby is having continuous loose motions (diarrhea), it could indicate several possible causes. At this age, babies often experience changes in their digestive system as they begin eating solid foods, which might lead to mild gastrointestinal upset. However, if the diarrhea is persistent, it could be a sign of an underlying infection, such as a viral or bacterial infection, or it could be a reaction to something in the diet, like a new food, or even a sensitivity to certain ingredients in formula or breast milk. Additionally, teething can sometimes cause temporary diarrhea due to increased saliva production and the baby’s oral exploration. Another possibility is a food intolerance or allergy, particularly to dairy or other foods that the baby is consuming for the first time. If the diarrhea is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, vomiting, dehydration (indicated by fewer wet diapers, dry mouth, or lethargy), or if it lasts for more than a couple of days, it's important to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any infections or other conditions. Ensure your baby stays hydrated and continues to breastfeed or take formula, as fluids are important to prevent dehydration. A healthcare provider can recommend the best course of action based on the exact cause.
