Baby diarrhea powder?

Diarrhea powders (oral rehydration solutions) are used to replace fluids and electrolytes lost during baby diarrhea. They're available over-the-counter at pharmacies and should always be used with doctor guidance.
To use correctly:
- Mix the powder exactly as written on the package
- Use boiled, cooled water
- Throw away any mixed solution not finished within 24 hours
- Give your baby appropriate amounts based on age and weight
But talk to your pediatrician if:
- Your baby is under 6 months with diarrhea
- Bloody or mucusy stool
- Fever present
- No urination for 8+ hours (dry lips, no tears, lethargy)
- Baby refuses to drink or seems very uncomfortable
Remember: the powder is supportive only. If your baby is still breastfeeding or taking formula, keep going—don't stop regular feeds.
