Can I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried because I accidentally got a drop of nasal saline into my 5-month-old baby's eye. Could this affect their eyesight? I'm feeling really anxious about it, and I'd love some guidance.
Mistakenly nasal saline drops getting into your 5-month-old baby's eye can cause some irritation, but it is unlikely to cause any long-term problems with eyesight. To help alleviate any discomfort and prevent infection, you can gently flush the eye with clean water. If the irritation persists or if you notice any redness, swelling, or discharge from the eye, please consult with your pediatrician.
