Diarrhoea and off food

[Snuggle]

Maddison has quite bad diarrhoea at mo, she has had it about 8 times today and it smells very very bad. She has also went off some of her food. She will eat her cereal but when it comes to lunch and tea she refuses it. She will take soft things like yoghurt and creamed rice though. Does it sound like a bug or teething? She has a rash on her cheeks but hasnt had bad nappies with teething before I dont know whether to take her to docs or not as she is otherwise well in herself

Sounds like a bit of everything in all honesty. Just let her eat when she wants too and once she gets it out of her system - stephen gets like this and will just pick for the day, few nappies and a day later hes back to stuffing his face and back to normal!

Teething is a bugger though, no black and white with it - too many grey areas!

Giver her plenty of water mate to flush all the nasties out!

Sounds like Ruby last week tbh ans she also had her backteeth come through at the same time we just had to sit it out tbh and kept offering water. Rubes didnt eat for 5 days well hardly anything and went back to BF lke a newborn

Thanks girls, she is sleeping and playing normally, its just that she usually eats like a glutton She is taking bits and bobs but not much. Hope she gets back to her normal self soon.
Thank you for replies

like has been said it could be a bug or could be teething - i blame everything on teething

just let her eat what she fancies and if it persists more than 72 hours or she has dry napies i.e she not drinking enough then take her to the drs. just try and encourage as much fluid as she will drink to compensate for the diarrhoea.

poor maddison hope she better soon xx
