When a 3-month-old baby has diarrhea, parents should ensure the baby receives adequate fluids to prevent dehydration and closely monitor the baby's feeding and bowel movements. If symptoms are mild, consider adjusting the diet—for example, breastfeeding mothers should eat light meals, and for formula-fed babies, slightly dilute the formula. If diarrhea persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. Additionally, maintain good hygiene for the baby and keep the environment clean to prevent infections.
