Frequent breastfeeding in less than 2 months , ORS solution in others as much as they can or 10ml/kg with each large quantity watery stool or 5 ml/ kg for small quantity stool. Alongwith it zinc 20 mg / day to be given to babies older than 6 months. Bifilac can be given , according to research studies it reduces diarrhoea duration.
