Diarrhea in infants

Normal baby stools are soft and loose. Newborns have frequent stools, sometimes with every feeding. For these reasons, you may have trouble knowing when your baby has diarrhea.

Your baby may have diarrhea if you see changes in the stool, such as more stools all of a sudden; possibly more than one stool per feeding or really watery stools.

Causes of Diarrhea

Diarrhea in babies usually does not last long. Most often, it is caused by a virus and goes away on its own. Your baby could also have diarrhea with:

  • A change in your baby's diet or a change in the mother's diet if breastfeeding.
  • Use of antibiotics by the baby, or use by the mother if breastfeeding.
  • A bacterial infection. Your baby will need to take antibiotics to get better.
  • A parasite infection. Your baby will need to take medicine to get better.
  • Rare diseases such as cystic fibrosis.

Diarrhea Causes Dehydration

Infants and young children under age 3 can become dehydrated quickly and get really sick. Dehydration means that your baby does not have enough water or liquids. Watch your baby closely for signs of dehydration, which include:

  • Dry eyes and little to no tears when crying
  • Fewer wet diapers than usual
  • Less active than usual, lethargic
  • Irritable
  • Dry mouth
  • Dry skin that does not spring back to its usual shape after being pinched
  • Sunken eyes
  • Sunken fontanelle (the soft spot on top of the head)
