Sick 3 month old - help! (from Arimeh)

[Sterla]

I'm writing this on behalf of Arimeh (who still doesn't have the net connected)

Mel's DD2 (who is 3 months old) is sick with a cold. This is the text from Mel:

Ok she isn't acting herself, she has a runny nose, can't be put down, she screams all the time, she isn't drinking hardly any milk at all, is so lethargic, and just had a poo that was so dark green it was almost black. Plus, her nappies aren't really wet either.

Is this normal behaviour, or should she be taken to hospital?

Is her fontenelle (sp) sunken? I think once they are lethargic it's time for medical help. Sending get well soon vibes xo

As she is lethargic with minimal urine output I suggest getting her checked out as babies can get dehydrated very quickly.

Good luck hun hope she is better soon

Mel says her fontenelle is fine, wonders if she should take her to the hospital now, or to the drs tomorrow?

[Miss H]

Definately a trip to the hospital is in order. I hope bubs gets better quickly!

To hospital tonight if still not drinking much.
