If mother is breastfeeding and baby has diarrhea, mother can support indirectly by paying attention to her own diet. These points are generally recommended:
- Plenty of fluids: Water, buttermilk, unsweetened compote, fennel tea — if mother increases fluid intake, her milk stays watery and helps replace baby's fluid loss.
- Rice, bananas, potatoes, applesauce and similar low-fiber, binding foods don't overwork digestion, and their effects on milk can help ease baby's symptoms.
- Yogurt, kefir and other probiotic sources can support both mother's and baby's intestinal flora.
- Avoid these foods during diarrhea: Spicy, greasy foods, gas-producing vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, onions), excessive dairy (lactose load), commercial fruit juices, and caffeine.
If baby is eating solids, the same foods can be given at an appropriate age. If baby has fever, bloody stool, extreme lethargy, or more than 8 hours with a dry diaper, consult your pediatrician.
