Baby diarrhea and baby dehydration
Acute diarrhea is usually due to a bacterial or viral infection. Chronic diarrhea might be a sign of intolerance or sensitivities to certain ingredients in foods, such as lactose found in milk-based formulas. Whatever the cause, diarrhea is dangerous in newborns and infants.
Contact your health care provider if your child has any of these symptoms:
Signs of dehydration
Diarrhea for more than 24 hours
A fever of 102?F or higher
Stools containing blood or pus
Stools that are black and tarry
Diarrhea causes your baby to lose fluids and electrolytes, leading to dehydration. Dehydration can be especially dangerous for babies, so it?s important to restore lost fluids quickly.
Pedialyte?, from the makers of Similac, helps get kids back to normal fast, because it provides a precise balance of electrolytes, carbohydrates, and water to help replace fluid and electrolytes quickly.
