Helping a baby with diarrhea is not easy because not every type of diarrhea is the same and not
every remedy is suitable for babies at all ages! Yeah, so in this video, we are first going to show
you an easy to prepare tea for babies from 0 to 36 months of age that helps with diarrhea in general.
Then we're going to show you how to prepare a soup that helps with diarrhea when it's caused
by bacteria which you can feed your baby if you have introduced solids. And then finally we are
also going to share with you another diarrhea tea which is particularly effective if your baby's
diarrhea is accompanied by severe stomach cramps. It is suitable from 12 months of age. I am Nathalie

our videos! Ok, two things before we start: First of all, diarrhea in babies should not be taken lightly,
as it is often a sign of an underlying medical condition. Therefore, it is always
a good idea to see a healthcare provider for a checkup! Yeah, the other thing is please keep in
mind that the stools of a young baby look very different from the stools of a grown up person,
particularly as long as baby is either being breastfed or formula-fed and as long as solids
have not been introduced yet! They also poop much more frequently by the way. So, stools that
would look like diarrhea to a grown-up person may not be diarrhea in case of a very young baby! Again,
your healthcare provider can help you find out if your baby suffers from diarrhea.
Alright, so with that said, let's have a look at the list of our baby diarrhea home remedies.
First on the list is blueberry tea: yes blueberry tea is an easy to prepare but
highly effective remedy which is made from two ingredients only: dried blueberries and water.
Please keep in mind though that it really needs to be dried blueberries because they have that
costive effect that we are looking for, right? Fresh blueberries on the other hand would have
the exact opposite effect. We'll link to some products in the description below this video
in case you cannot find any in local shops in your area. Yeah, and by the way next to having a costive effect,
dried blueberries are also anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. This makes them the ideal
remedy for baby diarrhea, even if your baby's diarrhea is caused by bacteria. So, if your baby is
still very young, like younger than 12 months of age, then blueberry tea is the home remedy you
want to go for, to help your baby with diarrhea. So, let's have a look at how to prepare the tea!
For our blueberry tea, we are going to use one and a half tablespoons of dried blueberries
which is a little bit less than 1/8 of a cup per 150 milliliters or 5 ounces of water.
Use a small pot and add the blueberries and water!
Then bring to boil! Once the tea is boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes!
Afterwards, strain the tea through a thief and offer your baby the lukewarm tea three
times per day, according to the following table! And please note that there is no need to add any sugar
honey or sweeteners! Usually, your child will like the tea as it is! Okay, I think our blueberry tea
is not very difficult to prepare, right? Right! By the way, if you are liking this video so far

or simply subscribe to our channel and or like this video so that we know that you have found
it helpful! Any feedback is more than appreciated! Thanks so much! Thanks a lot! Okay, next on our
list of baby diarrhea home remedies, we've got carrot soup! Carrot soup works particularly well
if your baby's diarrhea is caused by bacteria! That's because when you cook carrots, teeny-tiny
sugar molecules are being released. These molecules have characteristics which are similar to
intestinal mucosa! And so, the bacteria will attach to those molecules and eventually be discharged
naturally. So, if your baby's diarrhea is caused by bacteria and if you have introduced solids already
then the following simple recipe could be a better alternative to help your baby with
diarrhea, than our blueberry tea! Right! So let's have a look at how to prepare the soup:
To prepare the carrot soup of Dr. Moro, you're going to need 500 grams or about 18 ounces of
carrots and 3 grams or about 0.1 ounces of salt! Moreover, you're going to need water!
First of all, peel and chop the carrots, put them in a pot and add one liter of water
which is about 34 ounces! Then bring the soup to boil! Once it is boiling, reduce the heat and let
the soup simmer for about one and a half hours! Afterwards, add everything to a blender and use
it on the highest setting to have a smooth consistency! Then put the soup into a measuring
jug and add just enough hot water to have one liter of soup. Finally, add the salt and give
everything a good mix! Feed your baby the lukewarm soup throughout the day! Please
keep in mind though that you can only feed your baby soup if you have introduced solids already.
If you're having any concerns, please talk to a doctor first! Alright! That was our carrot soup.
Okay, the final baby diarrhea remedy on our list is another diarrhea tea. That tea is to
be preferred if your baby suffers from diarrhea with severe stomach cramps. However, it is only
suitable from 12 months onwards. For this tea, we need three ingredients: water, chamomile and tormentil.
By the way in some countries people use a different word for tormentil, like for example
"bloodroot", "septfoil" or "potentilla erecta". So, let me show you a picture of how it looks like
and please keep in mind: we need tormentil roots and not the flowers for our tea. And again we'll link to
some products in the description below this video in case you cannot find it in local shops. So why
are chamomile and tormented great baby diarrhea home remedies? Well, chamomile tea is a great
remedy for all kinds of stomach problems because it calms the stomach. Tormentil on the other hand
is particularly helpful in case of stomach cramps. The combination of both makes the perfect remedy
for baby diarrhea with serious stomach cramps. So, if you see that your baby suffers from diarrhea
with stomach cramps, this is what you want to go for. And here is how to prepare it:
In order to prepare our diarrhea tea, you need 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces of dried chamomile
and the same amount of dried tormentil. Moreover, you're going to need water! First of all, combine
the chamomile and torment and give it a good mix! Add a teaspoon of the mixture to a cup
and pour 150 milliliters or about 5 ounces of hot but not boiling water over the mixture!
Cover the cup and leave the tea to draw for about 10 minutes! Finally strain the tea through a sieve
and then offer your baby the lukewarm tea three times per day according to the following table:
Please keep in mind the tea is only for babies from 12 months onwards! Moreover, if you must, you
can add a little bit of honey for a sweeter taste! Alright! So the baby diarrhea home remedies that we
just showed you, usually do a great job in helping a baby with diarrhea! However, what you could also
do in addition to those remedies, is applying a pediatric baby massage treatment! Yes that's what
I do at the clinic! Well, actually what I do is, I teach parents how to apply that treatment because
it is obviously much more effective if you apply it regularly! Yeah! Don't worry it is neither difficult
to learn nor difficult to apply! So, if you like, check out the description below this video to
find out more about this pediatric baby massage treatment and how to apply it! With that said
