Baby autumn diarrhea care

The baby has diarrhea. Seeing him suffer, the mother must be very sad and depressed. She can't sleep or eat well almost every day. But mothers should also pay attention and take good care of their babies so that they can recover quickly. How to take care of baby with diarrhea? The following 5 tips are very practical.

1. Control diet: Babies who vomit frequently should fast, and it is best to fast for more than 3 hours. But do not fast from water, because babies are very easy to become dehydrated during illness. In addition, you should also pay attention to adjusting the diet, give your baby more porridge, rice porridge, or light food, and less irritating, spicy and greasy food.

2. Replenish water: You can give your baby light salt water or rice soup to prevent dehydration. You can also give your baby oral salt replenishment solution.

3. Pay attention to observation: The baby’s vomiting and diarrhea need to be continuously observed, such as the number of vomiting and diarrhea per day, the condition after vomiting and diarrhea, etc. If you find that your baby is vomiting and having diarrhea violently and is listless, you should take him to the hospital for a detailed examination and give him medication as soon as possible.

4. Keep the abdomen warm: Keep the abdomen warm according to the temperature changes in autumn, because if the abdomen is exposed to cold again, the chance of recurrent illness will increase.

5. Protect the buttocks: The buttocks must also be cared for. Every time the baby has a bowel movement, wipe the buttocks clean with a soft tissue, and then apply skin cream around the buttocks. The reason for this is that if the baby has frequent bowel movements and his buttocks are wet, it can cause skin diseases such as eczema.
