Dd almost 10 months, has had constant diarhea (sp?) for about 2 days now.
Nothing has changed, and she's still eating solids and drinking her milk. She's still extremely happy
I've had a look for any new teeth and can't find any. I might also add, that on Saturday she was quite tired, not cranky but had more than usual sleep during the day.
Wdyt? Should I take her to the doctor?
hmm I wouldn't just yet. But if she becomes lethargic, goes off her food then yeah. But I would say she has had a tummy upset & its just working its way though. Maybe give her some yoghurt to help her gut?
Hey hun i would maybe see how she goes tomorrow, if she's still eating and drinking ok i wouldn't worry to much.
Sometimes i find Z has runnier poos than normal for a day or 2 and then everything goes back to normal without her changing at all.
If your worried maybe call nurse on call and see what they suggest.. could be teeth moving and you can't see, that can sometimes affect them.
Just an update and some more advice:
Took DD to the doctor on Thursday and the dr checked her over, couldn't find anything wrong with her- so thought maybe teething as DD wouldn't let the dr near her mouth.
As of Thursday night, dh and I were both struck down with gastro- coincidence? DD still has diarrhea, that's almost a week now, her little bottom is red raw.... She's not off her food or her milk and with the exception of last night, had been sleeping well too.
Should I take her back to the dr tomorrow? Any other suggestions for getting rid if the diarrhea?
It is entirely possible that she just has teething poos - absolutely nasty looking poos that stink like nothing else and are really caustic on their little bums. All of mine would get poos like that when they were teething and it was often the first sign I had that a new tooth was nearly through. it is possible it's just gastro, but the teething poos is another likely culprit.
Hi don't know if you've heard of it or not but you could always try calling Health Direct in your area. Free 24/7 service where you get through to registered nurses who take you through symptoms etc and then advise what you can do and if you need to get bub checked out by doctor or not. As diahorea has been continuing for several days now they now suggest going back to docs or again may say no need as long as she is still taking in plenty of fluids - bit difficult to tell about wet nappies if she has diahorea !!!! Personally I have found them great when I've been unsure as to whether I need to go to docs or not. Number (which works country wide as far as I know) is 1800 022 222). Even if you don't use for this is good number to have handy for other things in the future.
Can't comment on teething causing diahorrea as it hasn't happened with us can get definitely attest to red raw little bums :-(. Think bananas are supposed to be good for blocking them up so you could try that and see if it helps.
