Hmm well your main concern is to keep him hydrated so think drinks! Chicken broth, soup, tea, half strength juice, soda pop etc. Some traditional foods to help with diarrhea are bananas, rice, saltine crackers, dry toast. I would avoid giving him any meals if you can and just give him little snacks and as much to drink as he'll tolerate. Keep an eye on his little bottom too. It can become super irritated quickly so if it's looking raw rinse him off with warm water and apply vaseline, desitin, or cornstarch.

MY grandson has a stomach virus we took him to the Dr she said if they don't eat don't worry just make sure lots of liquids. White grape juice, Pedialyte, apple juice, clear broth, soups, crackers, popsicles, toast, mashed potatoes, plain noodles, jello. Also you might try mixing the jello and drinking it my grandson liked that also. No sweet drinks. My grandson is three be careful with the over the counter meds for diarrhea his Dr said not to give him any. I know all Dr are different. Good luck and I hope this helps.

If you have any Pepto in the medicine chest, or anything like it, use it. The most important thing you should be doing however, is making sure that little baby stays hydrated. Pedialyte, gatorade, anything like that is a must. Dehydration is your main worry.

Try the BRAT diet bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. No milk or soda. If you don't have Pedialyte try gatorade. My daughter just had a virus and this is how we handled it. She wouldn't drink Pedialyte so her Pediatrician said try gatorade, but no soda or no sugar koolaid. Popsicles are good too.

The main concern if it is bad diarria is that you keep her hydrated. Keep giving her clear fliuds and nothing to heavy on the stomach. If you have any childrens pepto or amodiam that would work too.

Bananas, rice, applesauce (NOT apple juice), toast...and, as mentioned, keep him hydrated. Can you call your pediatritian's office? Even if you can't get there or they're closed, someone is on call and can help you. (Presuming you have a pediatrician, or call a pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist.)

i would give him very little to eat for a day but lots and lots of fluid, not fruit juice or fizzy pop, if he's really hungry try him with a little toast or bread

Do not give him any dairy products or fruit juices as this can just make it worse. If you don't have any pedialyte than try kool-aid.
