First Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is more common in babies above six months of age. This is because germs pass through their mouths.

If your baby has started crawling, she is likely to put all the possible things in her mouth and can get infections.

Your baby may pass motions as many as 18 to 20 times in a day in small amounts. You need not worry about it as it is perfectly normal. You need not panic even if you find the motions a bit loose with yellow granules in it.

However, you need to worry if you find the motions very watery and if your baby passes motions as soon as you breastfeed her.

What You Can Do

The most important thing to do in this case is to keep your house as clean as possible. In spite of this, if your baby gets infected and starts passing loose motions, give her lot of water so that she does not get dehydrated and then take her to the doctor.

Seek the doctor's advice on what food to give her and it is necessary to give her ORS or oral rehydration salts to maintain her body salt levels.
