How to stop diarrhea when breast feeding?

BRAT: While pregnant or breast feeding certain medications may not be safe. Here are some non-pharmacutical things you can try at home that are safe during breast feeding. Be a brat. Try bananas, rice, apple sauce, and toast. These foods help 'bulk up' the stool and may help you with your diarrhea.

Several things: First continue breast feeding, it is well tolerated & baby needs the energy. Second, offer things that slow the poo; apple sauce is my favorite followed by bananas & rice cereal.If over a year the breads help some as can steamed rice & plain macaroni
