Diarrhea and stomach pain in babies are a common combination, usually part of a viral infection (intestinal inflammation). Baby may show restlessness, draw legs to belly, and have crying episodes resembling gas colic.
What you can do at home:
- Fluid support is critical: diarrhea causes fluid loss that must be replaced. For babies over 6 months, water or buttermilk can be tried; probiotic drops from the pharmacy and an oral rehydration solution (ORS) recommended by your pediatrician are safest.
- Feeding: Don't stop breast milk or formula; if on solids, prefer fat-free, fiber-free foods (bananas, rice cereal, potato puree).
When to see a doctor:
- Bloody or mucusy diarrhea
- More than 8 watery stools in 24 hours
- Fever (≥38°C) accompanying it
- Noticeable decrease in urination (dry diaper for more than 6 hours)
- Baby seems lethargic, sleepy, or very restless
If any of these signs appear, consult your pediatrician the same day.
