Toddler's diarrhea: Your child may use regular whole milk after first birthday. Please discuss with your doctor if he has Toddler's diarrhea, which mean normal weight gain and normal progress with ongoing diarrhea

Diarrhea: First of all a 15 month old should be off formula, and transitioned to whole milk. Until 2 years of age, they need whole milk (fat for brain growth). Try 24 hours of bowel rest, pedialyte only then three to five days of lactose free milk, bananas, rice, fresh apples toast and vanilla or lemon yogurt. Once the diarrhea has resolved, give 16-24 ounces maximum of whole milk a day. Avoid juice
