When a 3-month-old baby has diarrhea, ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Parents should also pay attention to the baby's diet: if breastfeeding, the mother should avoid greasy, raw, or cold foods; if formula feeding, consider switching the brand of formula or adjusting its concentration. Keep the baby's abdomen warm to prevent chilling. If diarrhea persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
