Recognize the Symptoms of Diarrhea in Babies
The color and texture of feces in babies varies greatly. Normally, baby feces have a soft texture, especially if the baby consumes breast milk. Not only the texture, the baby will also have quite frequent bowel movements. This makes it difficult for mothers to differentiate normal bowel movements from diarrhea.
It's best to avoid giving over-the-counter medicines when your baby has diarrhea. Give medication according to the doctor's recommendations so that the treatment can be optimally beneficial. Generally, the treatment given is antibiotics which can eliminate the bacteria that cause diarrhea.
