When an infant has diarrhea, it is beneficial to provide carrot puree in small doses while undergoing medication, which helps with recovery. Take fresh carrots in sufficient quantity, wash and chop them, then cook them until soft. After cooking, remove the carrots and mash them into a paste (save the cooking water for later use). When serving, mix 5 to 10 grams (about one teaspoon) of carrot puree into every 100 milliliters of cooked carrot water. The amount of stool mainly depends on the baby's appetite, and it can be given according to their usual portion size. Generally, after feeding carrot puree for 2 to 3 days, the baby's stool will become solid.
