Here are a few tips that your doctor may recommend:
• If your newborn baby is breastfeeding, continue to feed him as normal.
• If your baby is vomiting, you may need to feed him in smaller amounts but more frequently. If you are breastfeeding, this means keeping your baby at the breast for a shorter amount of time at each feeding.
• To protect against dehydration, you might need to give your baby an electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte in between feedings. Alternately, you may need to replace the feedings entirely with the electrolyte solution.
• If you are bottle feeding and your baby’s diarrhea continues for more than two weeks, you may need to make a change in formula. You should discuss this with your baby’s doctor.
