Question
We are taking care of our 14 month old grandson this weekend and we note that all of his bowel movements have been soft, but yellow. This is not related to the food he is eating because he is eating normally. He seems a little quieter than usual, but definitely not unhappy or fussy. Is this normal, or should we be concerned?
Answer
He seems to be having diarrhea (suggested by increased fluidity of stools). If there is no fever, pain in abdomen or gross watery stools it could be just a viral diarrhea that would subside on its own. Just ensure that he takes adequate fluids so that he does not get dehydrated. If the diarrhea increases or he has fever, vomiting consult a doctor immediately. . Back to All Questions
