Summary
#115: When your baby has diarrhea, should you stop regular foods and switch to bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast? The BRAT diet is old-school advice that sounds safe, but it’s not the best roadmap for babies who are starting solid foods. In this episode, we’re breaking down what to do instead, why hydration matters most, and when diarrhea means it’s time to call your pediatrician. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why the BRAT diet is outdated advice for babies with diarrhea 2. What to focus on first when your baby has diarrhea during starting solid foods 3.
