Most commonly...: Of the most common reasons for diarrhea a viral syndrome is one of them especially if the baby is experiencing irritability, fever, decreased appetite. Usually resolves between 7-10 days. If a consideration was lactose intolerance remember not only to change the type of milk but other dairy products like yogurt, cheese,etc. If it doesn't get better after a few days of changing diet needs f/u w/ dr
