A. Yes, you can give rava (semolina) and makhana (fox nuts) to your 3-year-old if he is experiencing loose motions, as these are gentle on the stomach and easy to digest. However, ensure they are prepared appropriately: How to Prepare Rava and Makhana for Loose Motions 1. Rava (Semolina) Porridge: Dry roast the rava until aromatic. Cook it in water with a pinch of salt (or sugar if preferred). You can add a little curd once it cools down, as curd contains probiotics that help restore gut health. 2. Makhana Porridge: Lightly roast the makhana and grind it into a fine powder. Cook it in water or milk (if your child tolerates milk well). Add a pinch of cardamom for flavor. Additional Tips for Managing Loose Motions Hydration: Ensure he stays hydrated with ORS, coconut water, or rice water. Probiotics: Include curd or plain yogurt to help balance gut bacteria. BRAT Diet: Incorporate bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast into his diet. Avoid: Sugary foods, fried items, and heavy dairy products until stools normalize. If loose motions persist for more than 2-3 days or if there are signs of dehydration (dry lips, less urination, lethargy), consult a pediatrician promptly.
