Question
What fruits and vegetables can a baby with diarrhea eat? My child is one year old, and they have been having diarrhea for the past two days. I’m worried about malnutrition if I only feed them congee, so I want to know if fruits can be eaten. Which fruits are suitable? Are there any vegetables that are appropriate as well? Thank you!
Answer
Dietary control is important for infants and toddlers during diarrhea, but it doesn’t require a complete change in their diet structure. During this period, you can offer them leafy vegetables and carrots. As for fruits, apples are a good choice. Remember to gradually resume their regular diet after the diarrhea subsides to avoid malnutrition.
