The BRAT Diet: Mothers around the world know this answer. The natural home remedy for diarrhea without a fever is the following: bananas, rice or rice water, applesauce or apples without the peels and dry toast. So for a one year old...Mushed bananas and applesauce and maybe some rice water in a bottle?

Clear fluids & BRAT: Start with clear fluids such as pedialyte and allow him to have plain foods - bananas, rice or rice cereal, applesauce, toast, as well as crackers, plain noodles or potatoes, plain baked chicken. Avoid milk and milk products for a couple of days. Avoid heavy spicy foods also. The diarrhea will usually taper off in a few days, but may continue for a week or so, just less often, less watery.
