Diarrhea in babies can quickly lead to dehydration, so proper care and attention are important. Here are some simple steps parents can follow:
💧 Keep your baby hydrated with Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) as advised.
🤱 Continue breastfeeding to help maintain fluids and support your baby.
🍌 For babies on solids, offer easily digestible foods such as mashed banana and rice cereal.
🧼 Maintain good hygiene by washing your hands before touching your baby or preparing food.
👕 Keep your baby comfortable with light, comfortable clothing and plenty of cuddles.
🚫 Never give medicines without a doctor’s advice or prescription.
If your baby has frequent diarrhea, signs of dehydration, poor feeding, persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, or seems unusually sleepy, seek medical attention promptly.
