Please continue feeding the baby, mother's milk is best food for baby till 6 months of age. But if you are giving other milk then please give with a katori and spoon. No bottle feeding should be given. 1.Give WHO ORS after each loose motion as much as baby accepts. 2. Syrup zinc 5 ml daily for 14 days 3. Liquid Enterogemina 2 ml twice a day for 3 days.
Next Steps
if baby looks dehydrated then please visit a pediatrician.
