Question
Why do three-month-old babies often have diarrhea-like stools?
Answer
When a baby reaches three months old and experiences diarrhea-like stools, it is recommended to administer antibiotics for treatment. Additionally, rice porridge can help with vomiting. Boil half a cup of brown rice in three cups of water for 45 minutes, strain it, and drink three bowls a day. During the vomiting period, it’s advisable to consume light, fluid foods such as chicken soup or other clear liquids. Since the intestines need ample rest during vomiting, you can gradually introduce easily digestible foods like rice, yogurt (containing probiotics), and lettuce into the diet once you confirm that the chicken soup is safe and the symptoms are stable.
