What should I do if my baby has a cold and diarrhea?

Babies are definitely the ones with the weakest resistance in the family. Many things that are fine for adults to eat may be bad for babies. Therefore, we need to pay more attention and care to our babies in our daily lives. So what should you do if your baby has a cold and diarrhea? Let us learn together.

Diarrhea in infants and young children is mostly caused by improper feeding and eating disorders, so the following methods can not only provide nutrition but also have an antidiarrheal effect.

1. Adjust the diet. If a breastfed baby develops diarrhea, do not stop breastfeeding easily. At this time, you can shorten the time of each feeding and let the baby eat the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the milk, because the first half of breast milk mainly contains substances such as protein. The second half of breast milk mainly contains substances such as fat, which is difficult to digest, so this part of milk can be squeezed out and poured away. If the child is fed with cow's milk, it is not appropriate to feed him whole milk, but skimmed milk. You can make skim milk at home. After the milk is boiled and cooled, use chopsticks to pick up the layer of milk skin on the surface and throw it away. Repeat this three times and you will have skim milk. However, once the baby's diarrhea improves, it is not advisable to feed skimmed milk to avoid malnutrition.

1. To make the scorched rice soup, grind the rice flour or milk cake into powder, fry until it turns yellow, then add appropriate amount of water and sugar, and then cook it into a paste. When rice flour is added with water and then heated, it becomes dextrin. Dextrin is easily digestible, and its carbonized structure has a good adsorption and antidiarrheal effect.

2. Carrot soup Carrot is an alkaline food. The pectin it contains can promote stool formation and absorb bacteria and toxins on the intestinal mucosa. It is a good antidiarrheal food. The preparation method is: wash the carrots, cut them in half, remove the stems, then cut them into small pieces, add water and boil them until they are soft, then filter out the residue with gauze, and finally add water (500 grams of carrots to 1000 grams of water) and sugar and bring to a boil.

The baby's diet is extremely important. If conditions permit, parents can feed the baby some food that is beneficial to the baby. What should I do if my baby catches a cold or diarrhea in the future? I believe that as long as you remember this article, you will not be so panicked when the time comes, and you can also give your baby the best treatment methods.
