8-month-old baby diarrhea causes?
⚡ Short answer: The most common cause of diarrhea in 8-month-olds is viral infections; if fever, vomiting, bloody/mucous stools, or not urinating for 8+ hours occur, I recommend a doctor visit.

Viral infections—rotavirus, adenovirus and similar pathogens—are the most common cause of diarrhea in 8-month-olds. Beyond this, increased saliva production during teething can speed up bowel movements, new solid foods may cause sensitivity, or (rarely) bacterial infection might cause diarrhea.
What matters is monitoring the severity of diarrhea and your baby's general condition. Watery stools 3-4 times a day usually don't require concern, but if your baby doesn't urinate for 8+ hours, has sunken eyes, a sunken soft spot, or seems lethargic, you must consult pediatrics right away. Meanwhile, a common mistake parents make: with diarrhea, instead of stopping solid foods entirely, switching to easy-to-digest foods (rice porridge, banana, yogurt) is more correct.
If you see blood or mucus (slimy particles) in stools, or fever over 38°C, I recommend going to the doctor without delay.
