One-year-old baby has diarrhea

As the saying goes, even a brave man cannot stand three bouts of diarrhea, which means that no matter how strong your body is, three consecutive bouts of loose stools will cause physical weakness, let alone a one-year-old baby, whose face will become thinner after a while of diarrhea. There are many types of diarrhea in babies, which can generally be divided into acute diarrhea and chronic diarrhea. If the baby does not have diarrhea many times a day, just 2 or 3 times a day, it is not a big deal and parents can handle it themselves.

If it happens more than 6 times, you need to go to the hospital to see if the diarrhea is caused by a cold, indigestion, or a viral infection. Different types of diarrhea require different treatment methods. Generally speaking, autumn diarrhea accompanied by watery stools is caused by viruses.

The following foods not only provide the baby with the necessary nutrients, but also have a certain antidiarrheal effect. It can be used when the baby has mild diarrhea

1. Scorched rice soup: Grind rice flour or milk cream into powder, fry until browned, then add water and appropriate amount of sugar, and boil until it becomes a thin paste. Scorched rice soup is easy to digest, and its carbonized structure has a good adsorption and antidiarrheal effect, making it the first choice food for infants with diarrhea.

2. Carrot soup: Carrot is an alkaline food. The pectin it contains can form stool and absorb pathogenic bacteria and toxins in the intestines. It is a good antidiarrheal and antibacterial food. The method of making carrot soup is as follows: wash the carrots, cut them to remove the stems, cut them into small pieces, add water and cook them until they are soft, then filter them with gauze to remove the residue, then add water to make soup (at a ratio of 500 grams of carrots to 1000 milliliters of water), and finally add sugar and boil. Take 2 to 3 times a day, 100 to 150 ml each time. Stop using after diarrhea improves.

3. Applesauce: Apple is also an alkaline food, containing pectin and tannic acid, which has the effects of absorption, astringency and antidiarrhea. Take a fresh, soft apple, cut it in half, and use a mixing spoon to scrape it into a paste.

During the period of diarrhea, babies generally should not eat things like milk powder. Parents should give their babies more light salt water and replenish the baby's body with water in time to prevent the baby from dehydration. The baby should also be allowed to rest more. After a few days of conditioning, the baby's diarrhea will get better. Parents must find out the cause of their baby's diarrhea in time to avoid it from happening again.
