During diarrhea, your baby’s bowel movements appear watery, stinky, different in color, and loose in motions. Frequent bowel movements make your infant irritated, cranky & restless. Home remedies for loose motions in kinds and babies work best when you understand what causes motions in your child. Let’s talk about the different reasons of loose motions in children.
What Causes Loose Motions in Babies & Kids
- Teething time is one of the main reasons for loose motions in babies
- Introduction of new solid food can cause loose motions in babies.
- Improper digestion can trigger loose motions in children.
- Infection due to virus or bacteria can also be another reason for disturbed motions in babies.
- Strong medication can cause loose motions in children. Please avoid.
- Poor Hygiene and bad weather can also trouble baby’s bowel movements.
In actual, Diarrhoea is the way of our body to throw away the bacteria, toxins, and viruses from our digestive system.
During Diarrhoea, your baby loses water and minerals called electrolytes which lead to dehydration in your child. As immune system of your infant is still developing various environmental factors can disturb your kid’s tummy. You should take extra precautions about baby’s food in summers, winters, and monsoon.
As a mom, its very difficult to see your baby in pain. Sometimes common diseases like loose motions help in making your baby’s immune system strong. I always prefer to use the home remedies for loose motions for my baby for few days rather than using medicines from the day one.

Other starch-rich foods are cooked white rice, carrots, tapioca, boiled pasta (for older kids)
#17. Avoid milk products when baby is suffering from loose motions
Avoid milk or milk products for three or four days until baby is not recovered from diarrhoea. The intestines will not be able to digest milk and milk products during loose motion and consuming them will lead to increase in loose motion.
Avoid milk products like cheese, milk, butter, margarine, milk powder or anything which is prepared with milk. NO cow’s milk or buffalo milk for the baby during this time.
#18. Walnut (Akhrot) to cure diarrhoea

Recommended Age: home remedies for loose motion for 2 + year old baby
#23. Rest
Loose motion in babies can be because of viral or bacterial infection. So don’t prefer to give the antibiotics for immediate treatment. The body needs the time to self-heal in such diseases. Take care of baby’s food and give him complete rest that your baby can feel better.
But if diarrhea continues for more than 3-4 days then seek the medical help.
Bottom Line:
If your baby is refusing the food during loose motions then don’t feed your baby forcefully. Just offer the food after a gap. Increase the fluid intake in your child diet. Don’t give salt, sugar, and honey to babies below 1 year of age.
Look for the cause of loose motions, teething is the most common cause of the infant diarrhoea.
If your baby is not responding to home remedies or if there are other symptoms along with loose motions then take your baby to paediatric for treatment.

Hi Neha
Well written, thanks. I was wondering if mother’s diet matters in order to resolve the issue of diarrhea in babies . My 6 month old son is suffering from it since 4 days, green watery stools. Doesn’t it seem like an infection ? But he’s active, not dehydrated and happy baby despite diarrhea that’s y we didn’t consult a doctor since he doesn’t show signs of dehydration .
It may be because of teething time. Just observe his behavior, loose motions are common during teething time.
i am suffering from loose motions since 2 days,kindly help me in this regard.
Hi mam
My 2 year old boy passes stool 3 or 4 times a day sometimes immediately after or while having food..but this is not regular 4 days he goes frequent and other four or five days regular like one or two times…but the problem we face sometimes…stool is normal…is it due to any problem…please tell me a solution
There is no problem if a child or adult is passing stoll more than twice.
We need to check the consistency, smell and other symptoms along with this. If motions are loose and very smelly then its a sign of stomach disturbance. Otherwise, its okay.
Shall I admit in to hospital..

Hello Jhansi,
Has doctor told you to stop nursing your child?
Which formula milk you are using for him?
It happen sometime when we introduce new food to baby, it takes the baby tummy to adjust with it.
As formula milk is heavy as compare to breastmilk.
I think, dont worry much. he will be fine soon. I would suggest you to nurse him if possible.
Hi mam my baby is having motions and it’s smelly. am giving ors , yet to give sabudana water. Smell indicates the infection or what. Should I visit doc today itself, she had motions 3 times from y’day night. Thanks in advance

Hello Abira,
I don’t suggest or recommend any medicine on my blog. You need to see the doctor for medical help. Avoid topup milk or any other dairy products during loose motions because Lactose in milk triggers the motions. You can give curd, banana, boiled potato, boiled rice, pomegranate juice, sabudana water to your child during motions.
you can breastfeed your baby as much as you can.
Thanks alot mam….but I didn’t gave my feed to him..
Also everything he feeds or eats he poops.. he is pooping almost 10 to 12 time a day .. every little amount some times water sometimes solid.. I took him to a doctor and he said he has some kinda viral.. the medicine are on but doesn’t seem to have an effect on him.
As winter is here, so kids are more prone to such problems. Keep him warm, you can give the soup to your baby. Breastfeed him, you can try sabudana water.
Sure will do, Thanks you for your help.
Hi,
My baby is 7.5 months and has loose motions since past 5 days… He is on formula semi solids and breast milk. Should I stop giving him formula until he is cure?
If your baby is on formula milk then use the lactose free formula during motions or you can only breastfeed your baby rather than feeding him formula.
Lotions may be happen because of teething, as he is 7.5 months old. Please viist the doctor if motions continue for more than 6-7 days.

Green and foul smell stool is the sign of infection in baby. Please consult a doctor and seek the medical help. Avoid the topup milk if you are giving. Give him banana, curd, rice, boiled potato, pomegrante juice diet. Avoid sweets and milk products.
Hi mam,my son is 4 months 24 days old.have green watery stool past 20 days. Consulted dr on first day itself have few medicine no improvement.again after a week gave antibiotics for a week… but.no improvement…any remedy
Green stools in itself may not be a cause for concern, but when it is coupled with foul smelling and frothy poop it could be a sign of an infection. You can consult with another doctor if you are not satisfied.
Thank you for replying ma’am,
Ya it’s frothy,
As you have said Dr too said it’s viral infection and gave medicine it’s still the same

Hello Madhuri,
Its okay if baby is not accepting sabudana water, you can give her ORS solution. It will always help to keep baby hydrated.
Avoid the dairy products, specially milk during motions. Give her breastmilk, curd, buttermilk.
It is normal that baby appetite lost when child is sick. Just offer the food and liquid diet frequently. Don’t force for more quantity in one go.
Can we use for ten months baby
Yes of course, you can give these home remedies to your 10 months baby.
Hi Neha my baby is 1.3 yrs old since last 21 days he was having loose motion almost 2 to 3 times.when it started I told my mom she told it is because he is teething so I said ok after 10days the stools were bit hard but on 12 day again it started then it was green , some day dark green, some time bit reddish so on 20th day I went to doctor he said to reduce milk n breast milk only 1 time give ragi , rice n daal water . today is 21st day n today also he had loose motion I’m worried what to do??
Hello, I would suggest you to do a full checkup of your baby, green stool is sign of infection sometime. It may be because of milk intolerance too. So better to avoid dairy products for few days to observe the difference and then you can get the idea of problem.
Hello mam my sister child is 5 month old and he is having loose motion .the poo is little greenish in colour . It has past 2 days . He is on medication of zinc dry powder for suspension. He poo 2 to 4 time in a day and spotting 5 to 8 time. What should i do?
Green color stool is sign of some kind of infection. If baby is still passing green color stool then please consult doctor for checkup and medication.
My baby is 1and a half month and has 6-8 times doing potty per day , plzz tell me the solution

Hello Shikha,
As baby is below 6 months old, you can’t do any home remedy for him. Just breastfeed more and more to keep him hydrated.
Viral infection takes time to go away so have patience. If its continue for more than week then visit doctor again.
Hi.
My baby is 1 yr old and she is suffering from loose motion for past 5 days. We are not giving milk products as advised by my paed . I am breastfeeding her frequently. But she is so tired. What can I do to stop her loose motion. Pls help.
Hello Gomathi,
So which kind of food you are giving her in diet? Have you tried the banana, curd, rice, sabudana water, as well?
Avoid the greasy, fried, spicy foods. give her ORS solution as much as you can.
Has she gone thugh teething already? As its weather changes, sometimes its viral infection and she will be fine soon. Increase the liquid intake in her diet. If you are not feeling any changes then consult doctor for medical help.
hiiii ma baby is 5 month old having lose motion from last 2 days any reason
Hello Yash,
Have you introduced any new food to your baby?
I can’t tell you any specific reason, here are different reasons like germs infection, teething, starting solid foods, weather changes. So just breastfeed your child as much as you can. it will help to keep your baby hydrated. As nothing more you can do as your baby is below 6 months. Incase, you feel that motions are not better than consult the doctor.
Hi my name is Henry my son is suffering loose motion from 3days we have given as per doctor instruction mediation then also it’s still like that can u pls suggest
My son is 7month old
Okay, As in the 7th months… too many things happening to a child…. introduction of solid foods, teething time and crawling kind activities. Sometims, when we start any new food, baby face disturbed bowel movements. Once baby stomach get settled with new food, motions will be okay,
In some case, teething also cause loose motions in babies. It will be fine once his first teeth emerge. So I would suggest yout o give liquid diet, curd, banana, boiled potato like foods to baby. Over formula milk or any other milk except breastmilk.
Hello Henry,
How old your baby is? Is he completely on breast milk or in the stage of solid foods and milk?

Mala
Hello Mala,
As baby is juts 4 months old, nothing much you can do. As she is completely on your breastmilk then continue it as much as you can. Breastmilk help your baby to deal with dehydration issue. During the first year of child birth, motions, cold and cough are very common issues which are cure by itself. Nothing much to worry. You can avoid sugary, oily and spicy food as she is on your feed.
If its still continue then please consult the doctor for medical help.
My baby is 7 months old and having loose motion from 7 days ….his loose motion started when I gave him khichdi …..now after every feed he will doing potty pls tell me what to do .
Regards
Astha dubey
When we introduce the solid foods to babies… Sometimes, it happen.. body takes the time to adapt the new foods as solid foods need good digestion as compare to milk. So I think, nothing to worry much. His stomach will be settled soon, just to avoid the extreme.. Keep him hydrated and give him simple and easy foods. He will be fine soon.
My baby is 1 year old and suffering from loose motions n vomitings. .he only takes amul mild fat milk or formula nav pro 3 milk..or sometimes chapati. ..he vomits curd and banana.u suggest to stop milk during loose motions..plz tel wat to introduce instead of milk if he milk is d only thing he takes??
Thanx in advance
During loose motions, lactose in milk increase the motions. that’s why I mentioned to avoid dairy products except for curd. If your baby is mainly on milk and having loose motions then try to find out the lactose free formula milk which you can give during motions. It will help in diaper rash. Give him different types of liquid foods. ORS should be given to baby to maintain water level.
Naha one more thing i have forget to mention; he has badly suffering in rash due to loose motion; please give the solution , for that time i am applying mustard oil mix with tin quantity of water and applying effected area but not get maximum result.
please do help 🙂
Diaper rashes are because of motions. Lactose in topup milk increase the rashes. So either avoid the dairy products or breastfeed your baby. If your baby is on formula milk then use lactose free formula for time being. Use coconut oil or rash cream. Keep your child diaper free, use the clothes nappies to keep that area airy.
Hy Neha i am very confused about my Son health, now he is in 10 Month and staring grow up teeth but he has loose motion with cough and congestion; i have started ORS in fluent but still he has watery stool by time to time from past week and start coughing continue for 2 to 3 minutes and chest is badly effected. Please please give me some solution.
I am very thankful.
Saima
Are your baby is on breastmilk or formula milk? If your baby is on topup milk then you should avoid it in loose motions. Because dairy products except curd is not good in motions. Increase the liquid diet of your child. Don’t give sugary food. Give him sabudana water, banana, starchy foods like boiled potato, boiled rice. Curd.. It will help him. For chest and cold.. Give steam to baby. Its better if you can consult the doctor once. Once teeth start emerging, his motions will be fine. Don’t worry. Give him curd rice, khichdi, buttermilk.
My baby is 17 months old she is having teething motions, she spit out yougurt can i give her husk in formula milk to treat motions
I am not sure about the usage of husk or how healthy it is for babies. If your child is having loose motions then please avoid dairy products such as cheese, heavy cream, butter and ice cream except yogurt. These may irritate your bowels worsening diarrhea. breastmilk is beneficial to keep the baby hydrated. Avoid fruits that have high amounts of fiber.
Include the recommended foods which I have mentioned in this article to cure loose motions.
My baby is 1.7 year old ad suffering from pose motion for ok m 20 day as. I have consulted various chi pl d specialist. The main reason is she is on milk only it. Plzzzz suggest me plzzzz

You can try the following things if it help your child to get some relief. 1) Gently massage your baby’s stomach in a clockwise direction using mustard oil on daily basis. 2) Boil 1 tsp of saunf ( fennel seeds) in 1 1/2 cup of water, once its cool down, give it to your baby to drink. Try this practice for few days to see if its helpful. 3) Boost your child’s fiber intake. Give her plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. 4) You can give dried prunes or prune juice to your baby, its really helpful in constipation. If she doesn’t like the taste of prunes, try adding prune juice to her milk: Just 1 ounce of prune juice in half a cup of milk is very effective. 5) Give your child peas, apricots, plums, peas, beans and broccoli. Try above mentioned things for a week and observe if she is getting some benefits..

My baby is suffering from watery stool ,he is 10 months old…what shall I do???
Hello,
Have you tried any remedy yet? What are you giving to the baby for loose motions? Have you tried any of the home remedy which I have mentioned?
Hi mam nw my daughter is 5month running from morning she is passing green stools along with that some little blood I’m seeing and she is facing difficulty while passing motion so let know any home remedie
Hello Praveena, here can be multiple reasons of green stool. 1)Intake of green vegetables/ leafy vegetables by mom or baby 2) Iron drops or supplements if your baby has 3) Infections 4) Diarrhea 5) Sensitivity to dairy intake of mother 6) Side effects of antibiotics if any
I am concerned about 3 and 5 point, please take your baby to pediatric & check once. We can’t treat it with home remedy if we are not clear about the reason of the trouble
I hope, you got my point. Once green poop and blood issue solved then we can talk about the constipation problem.
Keep me updated through email. much love to baby

Hello Josephine,
You can try the recommended home remedies for your son. Just make few changes in his intake diet in case of loose motions. Like Avoid dairy products, spicy, fried and heavy food. Go for starchy foods like rice, potato. Increase liquid intake, curd, banana are good in motions.
My baby is 3 months old plz tell me any solution fr loose motion
Dear Bhawana, Thanks for writing to me.
If diarrhoea lasts longer than four days, then it may be chronic diarrhoea. Please visit paediatric to seek medical help. As your baby is 3 months old, he should be exclusively on breastmilk so we can’t try any oral home remedy. I would suggest you to breastfeed your child as much as your baby can. Breastmilk has anti-infective bodies and all the necessary nutrients that will help your baby to fight against bacterial or viral diarrhoea. Keep your baby hydrated & maintain his hygiene. If your baby is on formula milk then give your infant lactose free formula, it will help to improve and keep your baby free from diarrhoea rashes.
Let me know if you need any other suggestion. Take care of your child & don’t worry. Your child will be okay.
Hello mam my baby is 9 month old and he is having loose motion .the poo is little White and yellow mixed in colour . It has past 2 days . He poo 1 to 2 time in a day and spotting 5 to 8 time. What should i do? please reply as soon as possible
Hello Seema,
Usually white stool indicates that your baby is not properly digesting food. A white color may indicate a lack of bile from the liver to digest food. So I would suggest you do a proper medical check up of your child. Avoid any home remedy.
