Small Child, Loose Stools, Passing Watery Stools On Urinating. Taking Sporolac. Diet Recommendations?
Hi, My 3 month old baby is suffering from loose motion, most of the times while farting and urinating he passes some watery stool . Apart from it the stool frquency was increased form twice daily to 5-6 times. The stool is not green in colour. We have started sporolac today as per doctor s advice. Can we give him curd or dal/rice boiled water ? Can we switch partially from mother milk to formula milk for time being ?

Hi
Thank you for your query,
As your child is having Gastroenteritis, continue exclusive breastfeeding frequently, give oral rehydrating solutions to prevent dehydration and continue sporlac as advised by your doctor.
Now you cant give curd or rice boiled water to a 3 months old child
Breastfeeding is best for your baby and now continue breastfeeding as it will contain adequate water and electrolytes for rehydration and have antiinfective properties to fight with infecting organisms.
I hope you got the answer .
