    How old is your baby? Is she on breastmilk/formula only, or on solids? If baby is on solids, the first thing I would try is stopping the solids, which may be irritating her belly and causing the diarrhea.
    Real diarrhea in a baby requires at least a call to your doctor. Babies can dehydrate very quickly, and home remedies for this sort of thing are not a good idea.

    Diarrhea is okay as long as the baby stays hydrated. There is nothing to “get rid” of it. If it lasts more then a day or 2 I would call the Doctor. Check temp. and see if you see any teeth coming in, sometimes that is the cause. There is a stomach bug going around, it could be that as well. Make sure the soft spot doesn’t look sunk in thats a sign of dehydration. Best wishes to you and baby.

    how old is your baby?
    check the temperature and make sure it is normal. make sure the baby is getting enough fluids-talk to your doctor and see if it is ok to give pedialyte. diarrhea can cause bad rashes, so dont use wipes-use a wet cloth, and let the bottom air dry. im not sure there is anything to really make the diarrhea go away. it could be a side effect of teething.

    If on solids do the
    brat diet
    banana
    rice
    apples/applesauce
    toast
    [or similar like sometimes instead of toast I do dry cherrios]
    you want something bland
    keep hydrated
    if still on formula or breast ask your doctor for the best course of action……

    Check on the packet but when mine were young I use dirolite you can get different flavour’s. If I recall you can give it from 1month. ask at the chemist for other’s.

    YOU SWITCH TO SOY FORMULA ..OR IF THE BABY IS OLD ENOUGH TO EAT SOLIDS..THEN FEED ONLY RICE CEREAL AND BOTTLES TO BIND
