how long does baby diarrhea last?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Diarrhea usually lasts between 5 to 7 days. Most commonly it's due to a viral infection and is self-limiting. If it goes beyond 7 days, there's blood in baby's stool, high fever accompanies it, or urination noticeably decreases (dry mouth, fewer tears), you should definitely see a pediatrician. During this time, the most important thing is preventing fluid loss; if baby is nursing, breastfeed frequently; if on solids, offer water and the oral rehydration solution (ORS) your doctor recommended. Avoid using any medication or probiotic you're unsure about — consult your doctor first.
