diarrhoea - what foods to offer?

[supergolden88]

Baby has had a couple of very watery/greeny/smelly poos but so far is showing no other symptoms and still eating ok (knock on wood etc.). I know there's a nasty vomiting/diarrhoea bug going round I am just praying it's not that...

I remember as a child my mother gave me plain sticky rice. Any ideas for baby nearly 9 months?

I have heard that stewed apple is good because it as pectin in, apparently helps diarrhoea.

There's a thread here that might help:

It is for an older baby but it explains about the BRAT group of foods which are good if getting over a stomach bug (and yes rice is one of those. Can't remember when babies can eat proper/adult rice but if it's not a problem or he/she is used to it then ignore that!).

Hope your little one is ok.
