Hi
My baby is 13 months old.I m puttin up in West delhi .For past days he is not doing well he is passing loose motions and not eating things willingly.Can u suggest me as to wat diet should b given to him.I have tried khichdi,dalia,banana,etc and givin him medicine regularly is there any home remedy also available to stop the motions. Hetal replied. 1. keep him well hydrated, lots of juices, esp fresh mosambi juice.

2. offer lots of liquid diet, esp the soups and juices,,at 13months, 100% juices/fresh are the best.

3. offer vegies and fruits/diet like :
rice kanji, fresh curds with rice(some salt n a lil sprinkle of sugar and some cumin/jeera pwdr),banana,
sweet potato(offer 2-3times a day/sweet potato soup, boil,mashit and liquify it with vegetable stock/broth(the water of either vegies or excess waterr of rice or khichadi),,do the tadka of hing, a lil sprinkle of garlic pwder,some crushed jeera, some ajwain pwdr, and curry leaves,,add in salt if required and if your baby likes ne particular vegie or fruit, you can throw in that to make her eat that ! )
likewise,, potato, beans(offer only once in noon, with some garlic pwdr sprinkled in it, and with tadka just as above,,), appleslices(remove skin) and offer water that is boiled n cooled(add a very lil sprinkle of hing/namesake, and some fennel seeds or ajwain seeds dpnding on whichever is available..it should help.if you are offerng sweet potato, avoid offerng potato,,,just gve the other foods..beans only once a day.

4.if with these things, your baby continues to have the loose motions, say even after 24-36hours,,,without ne other trials, make sure to contact your doctor, ,,if loose motions are just caused due to some indigestn probs or ordinary teethng prbs,,then the above remedies wil help,,,otherwise, as soon as you stop these remedies, the loose motions will continue and so could be sign of ne bacterial, yeast or viral stomach infection or just some food poisng or watr contaminatn prob,,might have occurd...ne other sign of mucus developmnts, ne other stinky distinctive smell, or ne blood in the loose motions, should be observed in daylight/sun light so that exact colour of bowels are noted,,and should be reported to your dr at once !
good luck,would like to hear the updates.
