A member asked:
Is white bread better than brown bread for infant recovering from diarhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either is fine: Although "brown" breads are typically higher in nutritional value, either type of bread is fine to give your infant and will not worsen the diarrhea. Other binding foods which may help are rice and bananas. I'd also avoid giving milk-based foods which contain lactose and can prolong the diarrhea. If the infant is breastfed, Mom should avoid dairy in her diet until the diarrhea has resolved.
