the way you should handle diarrhea in a 3 month old really depends on how much and how often he is having the diarrhea. in many cases pedialyte is not necessary and babies can continue to have their regular formula or breast milk. in more severe cases things like pedialyte might be recommended. since young babies can become dehydrated more easily than anolder child it's a good idea to have your baby seen by your pediatrician to make sure he is not losing too much weight and fluid from the diarrhea. make sure not to give him any over-the-counter diarrhea medicines as these can be very harmful to babies and children.
