If your baby is suffering from diarrhoea, try the following:
- Avoid dehydration by giving your bub extra breast feeds and if needed small amounts of cooled boiled water
- Continue to breast feed or bottle feed your baby as normal
- Apply some barrier cream or petroleum jelly around their bottom to soothe and prevent soreness
- Contact your nurse or GP for advice, and only give your baby diarrhoea medicine if it’s prescribed
