Brief Answer:
Keep ors probiotics ready
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually loose stools at this age is viral infection and will take a few days to settle.
Since you are travelling I would suggest
1. Keep ors like electral sachets ready. You can dissolve in water ( 200 ml or 1000 ml depending on XXXXXXX size) and make her drink throughout the journey.
This is the most important thing to keep her hydrated.
You can continue breastfeeding too to keep her hydrated.
Avoid cows milk. If she is used to formula use lactose free formula like zerolac or isomil.
2. Use probiotics like bifilac. I usually prescribe around one XXXXXXX twice daily.
3. Keep a watch online output. If low increase feeds or ors solution.
Consult local doctor in UK after reaching.
Wishing your child good health and speedy recovery.
