How to deal with Diarrhea in babies
In the early years of a baby, it is tough for a baby to adjust to the environment around him; as we introduce solid foods to the baby, it is obvious that few food items may not go well with a baby's little tummy, and most of the time around the year, he may have to face problems like Diarrhea, especially in the monsoon season. Some children even face this problem because they habit of putting everything in the mouth, and germs are attached to it. Even when you try your level best to clean every part of the house, still some things are left. At the time of Corona, extra precautions were taken to the hygiene part in every home nowadays. New mothers get worried and rush to doctors, which is absolutely correct; medical advice should be given utmost importance.
But if I talk about my experience, I also rushed to the doctor as soon I discovered that my baby is ill. Unfortunately, he had to undergo ten shots of injections, which was very disturbing as a parent. But, my baby was still not recovering after those massive shots. He became so cranky that he used to cry for hours, and I was a new mom, couldn't figure out the actual problem. I used to research for hours on the internet and tried everything, but nothing worked for him. It even disturbed his sleep cycle. He couldn't sleep also; many advised to give him Gripe water. I gave that also, but it also failed.
Magical Home Remedy that actually works
Even after all those medicines and shots, he was not recovering and was pooping every 4 to 5 hours which affected his weight. He became skinny; he was not even eating properly.
Then, one of my relatives suggested a home remedy, which actually worked wonders for my child. Yes, it's true, I know it is hard to believe, but it is the truth. All she told me is to take a bowl of milk and add alum(Tatari in Hindi) and boil it until the milk begins to break down and then all you have to do is to separate the leftover water with the cheese, and the water you have to feed to your baby.
I gave them this water twice a day, and he actually recovered, and he even started eating well. That was a moment of satisfaction and pride for me as a mother. I was so astonished to see that such a basic thing present in my kitchen actually worked.
I want to mention to every mom that before rushing to doctors, try this home remedy once because giving excessive medicine to your babies is not healtunhealthythis remedy whenever he poops twice a day, but thats normal for kids. It is even said that it is also effective in making the baby healthy and gain weight.
