Watery diarrhea in a 1-year-old usually comes from a viral infection (rotavirus, norovirus) and resolves on its own in 5-7 days. The most critical focus here is preventing dehydration.
You can try:
- Fluid replacement: Breast or formula milk more often than usual. Additionally, giving your baby oral rehydration solution (ORS—available from pharmacies) is the most effective way. Sweetened juice, buttermilk, or rice water shouldn't be the main fluids.
- Feeding: Don't stop solid foods during diarrhea; continue offering them as long as your baby tolerates—especially binding foods like potatoes, rice porridge, and banana.
- Diaper care: Check frequently and change without delay to prevent diaper rash.
See your pediatrician if: Baby hasn't urinated in 8+ hours (most reliable sign), cries without tears, dry mouth or tongue, stool contains blood, or baby looks noticeably weaker or sleepier than usual. High fever accompanying it also needs evaluation.
