home remedies for loose motion during breastfeeding - #21237

Saanvi

I am dealing with this really frustrating issue since I started breastfeeding. My baby is now 3 months old, and around the same time I got this terrible bout of loose motion. I mean, like really bad. I thought it was something I ate or maybe even a stomach bug, but now I’m kinda freaking out about it because I read somewhere that loose motion during breastfeeding can affect the baby too, right? I've seen a few suggestions online about home remedies for loose motion during breastfeeding, but who knows what really works? I tried ginger tea, which helped a little, but it's not enough. There’s also this weird feeling after meals like my stomach just doesn’t settle, and I can't figure it out. I’ve been super careful with my diet, avoiding dairy and spicy stuff, but it keeps happening. It's getting hard to focus on breastfeeding when I'm constantly running to the bathroom! Has anyone else had issues like this? What home remedies for loose motion during breastfeeding can you actually recommend that are safe while nursing? I need something that won't harm my milk supply or the baby. Have you guys tried anything successful? I’m starting to feel a bit hopeless here.
