Diarrhea is common in babies and usually means a viral infection. Remember, exclusively breastfed babies often have looser, more frequent poops than you'd expect—that's not always diarrhea. Real diarrhea means the poop is runnier, more frequent, and smellier than your baby's normal.
First priority: prevent fluid loss. If baby's breastfeeding, keep nursing frequently; if eating solids, offer foods like rice cereal or banana that help firm things up. Don't use diarrhea medicine or adult probiotics without your doctor's okay.
Get to the doctor if: diarrhea lasts longer than 24 hours, baby has blood or mucus in the poop, fever, less wet diapers (fewer than 6-8 a day), or acting tired and fussy. These are signs of dehydration, which needs quick attention.
