Dietary adjustment during infantile diarrhea

When the baby has loose bowels, not only the frequency of defecation will increase, but also the body will lose a lot of nutrition and water. At the same time, the baby's digestive ability and appetite will also deteriorate, resulting in insufficient nutrient intake. Therefore, it is very important to adjust the baby's diet, which can help the baby reduce the burden on the stomach and restore health faster.

breast-fed baby

During diarrhea, you can appropriately increase the time and frequency of breastfeeding, because breast milk is easy to digest and absorb.

Artificial feeding of babies

Because whole milk is not easy to digest, skim milk, yogurt or diluted milk can be used instead, which is easier to digest.

A baby with complementary food

Should choose easy to digest, light food, such as egg soup, lotus root starch, rice porridge and so on. At the same time, stop eating foods that are not easy to digest and contain fat, and feed them several times. Don't try to add new food types during diarrhea.

Babies who eat the same food as adults.

During diarrhea, the staple food can be thin and soft rice, and the non-staple food should be light.

Follow the doctor's instructions

If the baby has severe vomiting and diarrhea, or diarrhea lasts for more than 2 weeks, you must follow the doctor's guidance to adjust your diet.

Gradually increase the number of meals

When the baby's diarrhea is good, you can add 1 meal a day to help the baby recover to the weight before illness as soon as possible, so as not to affect the baby's growth and development!
