Well not sure if its just coincidence but my little girl has just had 8 days of runny poo. She is 6 months old & started solids a few weeks back. I waited til 5 days then went to the doc, had done all the checks to make sure she wasn't dehydrated & basically thats all the doc did, he repeated everything I'd done already, checked her temp etc & concluded that it wasn't something she'd eaten as it would have passed after 2-3 days, basically its a bug. He told me to come back in another 3-4 days if its still happening. Thankfully we are back to normal now. Should say that for 1st few days she was filling a nappy 6-7 times a day (aarrrrh glad that passed!) after that it was just a couple times a day. I think you can't do anymore then you are now, keep fluids up. Oh I did get a great tip for nappy rash, bath with 2tbls of baking powder, it really worked! Could also be teething though, think that can send things a bit watery down stairs!
DDs poos have seemed a little more solid today, though still very frequent for her. I'm still not sure if she's well or not. She seems congested in her breathing some of the time, at other times not. Hmm, I think I'll post about that some separately asking for advice.
All in all, I won't be surprised if we end up having to find a doctor here for her, rather than wait until we are back home in Australia <sigh>.
