well, we went back to see a different doctor today, and got completely different advice to what we were told previously.

About the opposite of what Danni wrote (which by the way is the version I prefer, and what we were told previously).

He said no food for 6-8 hours, no dairy etc, just hydrolyte or water. He also didn't look at Milos nappy rash but did send off for stool tests to make sure its not something we need antibiotics for. SO I was pleased about that part.

So I rang nurse-on-call due to all the conflicting advice, They were somewhere in between, but agreed on the 6 hours off solids, so we gave that a go today. It was hard Milo would not drink any of the hydrolyte, or the icypole version, or even water. then I tried a different flavour which worked well.

Bedtime was about 10 hours since the "fasting" so I gave him a 75% soy 25% water bottle, which he loved (I tried about a tablespoon of the soy earlier in the day to check he didn't react or anything)

We also made it through 3 hours of nappy free time with no poos, prob duie to the no food though. But good for the nappy rash.

Thanks every one for your advice.
