POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. 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.
