See Your Doctor Now: Diarrhea at this age is commonly caused by viruses however dehydration is a serious complication; can happen easily if fluid intake, diet are not properly handled. Additionally, more info eg. fever & other symptoms is needed to make a diagnosis. Be aware babies this age may give few cues to severity & worsening of illness. See your doctor now for prompt diagnosis & treatment of illness & rash.

Avoid medications,: and foods with simple sugars, such as jam, syrups, fruit juice and milk (lactose) but diarrhea usually will not resolve unless having a somewhat normal diet. I suggest using a lactose reduced milk, and usually complex carbs like bread and pasta as well as lean meats are well tolerated once vomiting has or slowed down. Chicken noodle soup is a winner! Probiotics help, esp if on antibiotics recent

Diarrhea: Avoid dairy. Besides Pedialyte, you can give bananas, rice, applesauce, bread, plain pasta, broiled or grilled chicken.

Diarrhea: in children is common and usually self resolving with a few extra dietary supports. STOPPING the diarrhea (the body's way of eliminating the offending infection) with medications can be dangerous in children. Supplement with an electrolyte solution (few ounces) after every loose stool, avoid of sugary foods/drinks like juices, and increase binding foods (bananas, rice, toast) .
