Your baby will poop more often than usual. She will have runny bowel movements. Most of the times it starts with abdominal pain or stomach cramps and last for only a few days. In cases where it is a parasite infection other symptoms like fever, weight loss and complete loss of appetite are seen. While in cases of viral infections vomiting and high fever are observed.

Reason for Diarrhoea

Diarrhea is a stomach infection which is caused by viruses, bacteria or parasites. The germ varies depending upon the geographic regions with the major concern being the level of sanitisation and cleanliness. So if you live near places which are not maintained well and are unhygienic then the chances of infections are really high.

Bacteria and parasites often travel through contaminated water.
