Tips

Look out for frequent watery poop. This is a sign your toddler has diarrhoea, so ask your healthcare provider (HCP) for advice.
Wash hands often and practice good hygiene to stop it from spreading.
Rehydrate your toddler after every bout of watery poop with 100-200ml of fluid.
Avoid sugary drinks. Drinks with artificial sweeteners aren’t allowed in foods for children under three years old.
Look out for dark, strong smelling pee, as this can be a sign of dehydration.
Ask your pharmacist or HCP if rehydration drinks are advisable.
Only give your toddler anti-diarrhoea medicine as recommended by your HCP.
Keep your toddler home from nursery while ill and up to 48 hours after their last bout of diarrhoea.
If your toddler doesn’t poop at least three time a week it could be a sign of constipation.
Give your toddler more fluids, ideally water or diluted fruit juice.
Make sure they’re getting plenty of fruit and veg in their diet.
Make sure your little one stays active as this can help the bowels to keep moving.
A gentle toddler tummy massage — moving hands clockwise — after a warm relaxing bath can help constipation to pass.
Avoid over-the-counter medication for toddler constipation unless recommended by your HCP.
