Good morning. I know u must be in lot of stress. I’ll definitely try and help u out. First you have to understand that any loose motion infection will take atleast 5. -7 days to completely resolve as they are usually caused by viruses. The worrying aspect of loose motions is the amount of dehydration due to water losses in the baby which makes it weak. Can u tell me the current weight of the child. One motion in one hour is pretty high . Can U tell me what medicines u r giving the baby?? Is there fever too??? Is the baby active and feeding regularly??? Is there any associated problems like vomiting??? Help me help u. I’ll try my best to solve this worrying concern of urs.
Next Steps
Kindly consult if u need my help.
Health Tips
Do not stop breastfeeding since it is a source of nourishment for the weakend baby and it compensates for the water loss. All the best.
