In daily life, babies are prone to indigestion or diarrhea caused by improper diet. Although diarrhea in babies is quite common, due to their poor digestive system, sometimes they may experience watery stools, which makes parents very worried. So, what should I do if my baby pulls water?
1. If the baby's diarrhea is not very frequent and their mental state is good, they can observe it first. Suspend one meal first to allow the stomach and intestines to rest, while adding a small amount of salt to light tea. Parents should not give antibiotics or other medications without authorization, nor should they give folk remedies to stop diarrhea, in order to prevent improper medication from worsening the condition.
2. When a baby has diarrhea and watery stools, it is important to pay attention to their hygiene and diet, with a focus on a light diet. If the child does not vomit, they can eat more, and liquid or semi liquid foods can be used.
3. If the baby defecates more than 7-8 times a day, with a large amount of watery stool or a small amount containing pus, blood, and mucus, and accompanied by fever, then it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner to avoid the situation becoming more serious.
Parents should pay enough attention to the baby's bowel movements and help them regulate their digestive system in a timely manner. If not addressed and improved in a timely manner, it can have a significant impact on the baby's physical health. During diarrhea, while keeping warm, pay attention to the baby's diet and avoid giving them unclean food.
