Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro
BRAT Diet for Babies with Diarrhea: Does it Work?
#115: The BRAT diet has been recommended for decades as a way to combat diarrhea. BRAT is an acronym standing for bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. But does BRAT work and should it be used for babies?
In this episode we’re looking at diarrheal disease in babies: what causes it and what steps should be taken to help babies who have diarrhea. Do you need to cut out milk and dairy if your baby has diarrhea? What types of foods can babies who have diarrhea eat? ...and is the BRAT diet safe for babies?
Listen to this episode to learn:
- What is the BRAT diet and how did it come to be recommended?
- If long-term adherence to a BRAT diet is NOT recommended (...and it’s not) what SHOULD we be feeding and not feeding if baby has diarrhea
- Why do high sugar simple carbohydrate foods make baby’s diarrhea worse and what should we be feeding instead?
