Maybe gastro - what to look out for?

[~clover~]

Hi.
DD2 had rota virus when she was 6 months old. It started on the sunday. I took her to the doc on Tuesday who just said to keep an eye on her wet nappies. Took her back on Thursday coz she was still sick. She still wasn't dehydrated, so went home again. Went back on the Friday & was sent to the hospital for monitoring.
Ended up getting transfered to a bigger hospital for the night, but they were still amazed she wasn't more dehydrated.
I cut out milk & she only had water from the Tuesday. I think it's 10 mls every 10 minutes.
She did lose some weight, but it's the water you have to keep up. Milk & other foods can feed the stomach bug & make it worse.
