Dallas, Texas (CaymanMama.com) — New mothers with a sick baby, do not despair! It is more common than you may think for infants to have diarrhea and is often attributed to a virus.
However, in some severe cases of diarrhea in young children, the situation can quickly become dangerous, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
If your child comes down with diarrhea, keep the following points in mind:
1. Do not panic! Keep calm and consider all of the factors which may have attributed to the diarrhea in your infant.
2. If your newborn is younger than 3 months, do not waste time. Call your baby’s pediatrician at the first sign of diarrhea, the agency says.
3. Regardless of your baby’s age, immediately contact your child’s pediatrician if you notice bloody diarrhea or an extreme bout that lasts longer than two days.
4. Think fluids, fluids, fluids! Opt for a drink that contains electrolytes in order to prevent dehydration.
5. For young infants, do not stop nursing, and ask your pediatrician about administering extra fluids.
