Diarrhea, baby care

The diarrhea occurs when the inner cover of the intestine suffers an injury. What makes the stool softer than usual means that the ingested nutrients are not digested or absorbed properly by the intestine.

Injured tissue also tends to filter liquids, which are lost and mineral salts. These losses are compounded if your baby eats food or sugary drinks because the sugar is not absorbed, it attracts more fluid, worsening diarrhea.

If your child has vomiting followed by diarrhea within a few days, may have a viral infection in the intestinal tract.

Babies and the departure of the teeth

In addition, you should not use the swing more than 30 minutes nor more than twice a day, but can calm a baby, does not replace the care that parents provide.
