A. If your 4-year-old is having loose motions twice a day, it's important to keep them hydrated and offer easy-to-digest foods to help their digestive system recover. 1. Hydration First ✔ ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution): Give small sips throughout the day. ✔ Coconut Water: Natural electrolytes to prevent dehydration. ✔ Rice Water: Soothes the stomach. ✔ Plain Buttermilk (Chaas) or Curd: Helps restore gut bacteria. 2. Light & Easily Digestible Foods ✅ Rice & Moong Dal Khichdi – With little ghee for easy digestion. ✅ Boiled Potatoes / Mashed Banana – Binding foods to firm up stools. ✅ Soft Idli or Suji Upma – Gentle on the stomach. ✅ Homemade Applesauce / Steamed Apple – Helps stop diarrhea. ✅ Carrot or Bottle Gourd (Lauki) Soup – Provides nutrition without irritation. ✅ Plain Curd (Dahi) or Probiotic Yogurt – Supports gut health. 3. Foods to Avoid ❌ Milk & Dairy (except curd) – Can worsen loose motions. ❌ Fried, Oily, or Spicy Foods – Hard to digest. ❌ High-Fiber Foods (Raw Vegetables, Beans, Whole Grains) – Can aggravate diarrhea. ❌ Sugary Drinks (Juice, Sweets, Chocolates, Soft Drinks) – Can make it worse. 4. Additional Care ✔ Feed small meals frequently instead of large portions. ✔ Monitor for dehydration signs – Dry mouth, less urine, sunken eyes. ✔ If diarrhea persists for more than 3-4 days, or if the child is weak, consult a doctor.
