When a 4-month-old baby has diarrhea, parents should first remain calm. You may try feeding the baby light and easily digestible foods such as rice water or diluted formula, while ensuring food hygiene. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm, especially the abdomen, to avoid getting chilled. If diarrhea persists or worsens, you may appropriately give the baby oral probiotics, but dosage and usage should follow the product instructions or be discussed with a pediatrician.
