A one year old baby has much better physical resistance compared to a one month old baby. However, babies are ultimately a vulnerable group with limited physical resistance, and it is impossible to completely avoid illness. A common symptom is diarrhea, and many novice mothers are helpless at this time. What should be done if a one year old child has diarrhea?
If the baby's diarrhea is not severe, the mother can give the baby some boiled apples in moderation to alleviate the diarrhea. In order to reduce the burden on the baby's digestive system, it is best for the mother to make the cooked apples into a paste like texture, which will be easier to digest. After feeding the baby boiled apples, you can use a hot towel to apply to the baby's stomach, which not only helps with digestion but also helps the baby stop diarrhea.
When the baby has diarrhea, it is best for the mother not to give the baby complementary foods anymore, otherwise it will worsen the baby's diarrhea symptoms. If the mother still has breast milk, it is best to give the baby breast milk, because breast milk is easier to digest than other complementary foods and is more suitable for the baby's gastrointestinal condition during diarrhea. However, mothers should not give their babies milk and formula, as milk and formula are different from breast milk and are difficult to digest foods.
If the baby's diarrhea is severe, it is necessary to seek medical treatment and medication in a timely manner. Especially after the baby has developed dehydration symptoms, the mother should not be careless. In addition to seeking medical attention in a timely manner, she should also give the baby more warm water.
