Probiotics supplement
Watermelon is a raw and cold food. Some babies can't digest well and have diarrhea easily if they eat too much. At this time, parents can feed some probiotics to their babies under the guidance of doctors, which can promote digestion, regulate the stomach and intestines, balance the intestinal flora, restore the normal intestinal pH value and relieve diarrhea symptoms.
Make up water and salt in time
When the baby has watermelon diarrhea, the water and salt are lost too much. If the lost electrolyte is not supplemented in time, the baby is prone to dehydration. Therefore, in order to prevent the baby from dehydration, the parents should supplement salt water to the baby with diarrhea in time.
Suspension of complementary food
When the baby has watermelon diarrhea, he should stop adding supplementary food to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines and relieve diarrhea. Of course, for the baby who is breastfed, it is not necessary to stop feeding, but only to reduce the amount of feeding, that is, to shorten the time of feeding and extend the interval of feeding. With the improvement of the condition, the amount of milk feeding and all kinds of auxiliary food have been gradually recovered.
