Hi,

Phoebe came down with a gastro bug last Tuesday. It started with vomiting after feeding - big lots of vomit. This continued all Tuesday night and Wednesday. She was happy enough still, and drinking. No temps and I wasn;t worried about hydration. We went to the dr on Wednesday afternoon just to have her checked and he said she looked ok and just keep doing what I am doing. That afternoon the other end starts!

This was lots on Thursday with occasional vomiting still and after a crap night I went back to the drs on Friday. He said she doesn't look as well but as she is happy to drink just keep going. He did tell me to stop breastfeeding but re-offer food? I ignored this and kept breastfeeding, cause that just didn't seem right to me.

It is now sunday and she still has diarhea. It is only once or twice a day now - but it is still there. Basically I am wondering if this is normal for a tummy bug. She isn't cranky or distressed. My elder daughter has never had a tummy bug so this is all new to me.

Can anyone offer any ideas? Thanks!
