What do you do if LO has loose stools?

DS has had loose stools today but has been acting and eating fine. They aren't watery, just not normal either. Should I do anything different?

Re: What do you do if LO has loose stools?

  • My daughter has loose stools all the time.  I figure it's just what she is eating.  Lately, she has been eating a lot of blueberries and grapes, which kind of move things along.

     

    I never worry unless it's been several days of diarrhea and I know it's not from what she's been eating.  Just give him lots of water and liquids.

  • Bananas, rice, apples, and toast (BRAT diet).  Bananas really work!  GL!
  • this recently happened to my DD for about a week, and she had her 18 mo appt during it so the doc checked her out and said if she's acting normally and she wasn't dehydrated, then it's fine.  could be something he ate or a virus, but should end on it's own soon.  only worry if he starts acting lethargic, isn't eating/drinking/peeing, or runs a high fever.  so for now, the BRAT diet helps a lot!
