Add solids as described above for formula-fed infants. Don't stop breast-feeding your baby because your baby has diarrhea. If your baby eats solid foods, offer more rice cereal, mashed potatoes, applesauce, strained bananas, and strained carrots. Avoid all fruit juices because they make diarrhea worse. Starchy foods are easily digested during diarrhea.
Examples are cereal, breads, crackers, rice, mashed potatoes, and noodles.
Drink more water. Avoid all fruit juices. Eat or drink less milk and milk products for a few days. Avoid beans or any other foods that cause loose bowel movements. Using boiled skim milk or any concentrated solution can cause serious complications for babies with diarrhea because it contains too much salt.
