So what should babies eat when they have diarrhea?

1. Breastfeeding can prevent diarrhea

Breastfeeding should be used especially in the first few months after birth. Because breast milk is most suitable for the nutritional needs and digestive ability of infants. Breast milk contains many digestive enzymes and antibodies needed by children. Its various nutrients are very suitable for children's digestion and absorption. It can neutralize Escherichia coli enterotoxin and prevent infection with Escherichia coli. It is much superior to cow's milk and breast milk substitutes. Breastfeeding should be encouraged except for those suffering from tuberculosis, heart, kidney and other chronic diseases. Attention should be paid to the correct feeding method, regular breastfeeding, and avoiding weaning in summer or when the child is sick. Breastfeeding can prevent diarrhea in children.

2. Use a bowl and spoon instead of a bottle

Baby bottles, especially rubber nipples, are easily contaminated and difficult to clean and disinfect. They can easily become contaminated and cause diarrhea in children. Use a bowl and spoon instead, which has less chance of contamination than a bottle.

3. Add complementary food on time

Children grow and develop rapidly, so whether they are breastfed or bottle-fed, they should be given complementary foods on time to meet their nutritional needs. When adding complementary foods, the variety should not be too many, and the changes should not be too frequent. Other foods should be gradually added after the baby gradually adapts to the new food. Specifically, when adding complementary foods, pay attention to the baby's digestive ability and only add one type at a time, starting from a small amount and increasing gradually. Generally, vitamin C and D are added half a month after birth, vegetable soup, milk cake or rice paste are added at 2 to 3 months, and egg yolks, minced meat and chopped vegetables are added at 4 to 6 months.

4. Pay attention to the quality of your diet

When mixed feeding and artificial feeding are adopted due to insufficient breast milk or lack of breast milk, attention should be paid to diet adjustment. It is not advisable to feed rice porridge or other foods too much or too early to avoid carbohydrate indigestion and affect the growth and development of children. If infants from birth to 3 months do not have enough breast milk, they can be supplemented with milk powder. Whether using cow's milk or milk substitute, it needs to be properly diluted to facilitate digestion and absorption. When the appetite is poor, it is not advisable to force feeding.

5. Enhance physical fitness

Usually, we should strengthen outdoor activities, improve the ability to adapt to the natural environment, pay attention to physical exercise of children, strengthen their physical fitness, improve the body's resistance, and avoid infection with various diseases.

6. Avoid adverse stimuli

Children should avoid excessive fatigue, fright or mental stress in their daily lives. These may cause diarrhea in children.
