The list of possibilities is long. Your baby's diarrhea could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It might also be the result of a parasite, a course of antibiotics, or something he ate. Parasitic infections can also cause diarrhea. Giardiasis, for example, is caused by a microscopic parasite that lives in the bowel. Symptoms may include gas, bloating, diarrhea, and greasy stools. These kinds of infections are easily spread in group-care situations, and treatment involves special medicine, so your baby will need to see the doctor. Keep your baby hydrated. Although rarely serious when treated properly, diarrhea can send your baby to the hospital if he becomes dehydrated, so your first concern should be giving him enough liquids. If your baby isn't also vomiting, continue to give him breast milk or formula. HOMOEOPATHY TREATMENT: AETHUSA: When children are unable to digest milk, leading to colic, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, this remedy should be considered. The children regurgitate the milk and other food within one hour of eating or drinking, sometimes with violent or projectile vomiting. The vomitus usually contains yellow or green curds. The infant or child sweats, feels very weak, and becomes very restless, anxious, and weepy.
