 Topic: Oh baby doctors in here please

Okay so on thursday Rhiannon woke up with diarrohea (sp), that day we went through 12 cloth nappies and about 8 sposies...anyway it stopped on thursday night...and then 12 hours later it started again....everytime she sneezed she literally shat herself...again from about 4pm it stopped then saturday afternoon it started again...and stopped sunday morning....absoultely nothing till this morning and its started it again.
Its really liquid and you know as soon as she has done it as you hear it and it sounds like water.
she is eating and drinking like normal, sleeping well, and her usual self....havent changed her diet much except that she has drunk more milk and eaten more fruit than usual...so we stopped that but its made very little difference.
so in light of this do i take her to the doctors or just let it ride its course?

IMO I would take her to the doctor. It doesn't cost very much and I would rather be safe than sorry.

Good luck hun! You could always ask for a script for an electrolyte drink should she stop drinking so much - might save you another trip.

Does she drink e2. My doc got me to get some of the apple and blackcurrant flavour and water it down (like 50/50) and give it to Daniel when he had the runs. It works the same as the electrolytes you get on script but it tastes better.

Jack had a similar thing after a tummy bug. It lasted about a week and a half (with the odd vomit as well) but was perfectly happy that whole time and drinking heaps. It might just be their sensitive wee tummies recovering?

Eden has just had the Rotovirus for the passed 11days, she was her happy self and no vomitting just pooping alllll the time, so much at one stage there was about an inch of liquid in her nappy because she pooped so much the nappy couldnt hold it.
It sounds to me like thats what Rhiannon has, make sure you just keep up her fluids, if you press down on her thumb and the colour stays away for 5+ seconds shes dehydrated, or if you pinch and twist (not hurt) a bit of her skin on her chest between her nipples and it takes a wee while to go back to normal and normal colour, then this can show dehydration and she will need to go to doc/hosp asap.
good luck though, an it sounds like you are doing everything right anyhow!
