how to control loose motion in babies - #12669
I am a bit frantic and need some help. My 10-month-old baby has been having loooose motions for the past couple of days—like, five or six times a day. I don’t remember any food changes but maybe he had a new toy that went in his mouth, who knows! I thought it might just be teething or a stomach bug, but the poor little guy seems to be feeling pretty miserable and I just want to know how to control loose motion in babies. He’s got that diaper rash too and every time I change him, he cries a lot, which totally breaks my heart!! I tried to give him some banana and yogurt coz I read somewhere that helps, but he just keeps pushing it away!! The pediatrician said to keep him hydrated, which I totally get, but I’m also worried—like what if this doesn’t get better?? I keep wondering how long does it usually last and how to control loose motion in babies in a way that’s actually effective. Should I avoid certain foods, or is there something specific I should be giving him?? Anyone else experience this? I feel so clueless right now, any tips on how to control loose motion in babies would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
