　　baby diarrhea Is it okay to fast from time to time?

　　In the past, for children with diarrhea, in principle, only a small amount of rice soup was fed, and those with severe diarrhea should fast.

　　At present, fasting is not recommended for babies with diarrheal diseases, but they should continue to be fed.

　　Growing infants and young children have lost a lot of water and nutrients due to frequent diarrhea and are in urgent need of supplements. Fasting will aggravate the lack of water and nutrients in infants and young children, and the gastrointestinal function cannot be restored quickly.

　　Malnutrition can also occur during prolonged fasting. Therefore, infants with diarrhea should not fast.
