Mostly feeding your baby or child as usual is a good practice. Most children can replenish nutrients lost through diarrhea. For babies, always continue breastfeeding or formula feeding.
After two weeks it was suggested that formula milk be changed to a lactose free formula.
She is now fine, feeding well and behaving normally with extra thirst which is satisfied by 2-4 ounces of ORS as per her wish.
