Will apples help stop diarrhea my 8 months old baby has diarrhea?

BRAT diet: The classic BRAT diet is banana, rice, applesauce and toast. Be sure not to give apple juice - the added sugar load can make diarrhea worse.

No: The fiber might help bulk the stools a bit, but apple juice can actually make it worse. Loose poop is often normal in an 8mo child who is trying new foods, or who may have a short-lived illness. If the baby is otherwise healthy (drinking well, active, playful, & normal urine output), then it'll likely pass on its own. If it's chronic, or other symptoms, or you're worried, talk to your pediatrician
