4mo ds has had diarrhoea for 2weeks now He was miserable with it at first, but it's got a bit better now and he seems fine in himself, and hasn't lost weight. But 12+ green nappies/day can't be good, can it?
Anyway, GP has said 24 hours of no breastmilk, but diarolyte instead will clear it up, but ds has never taken a bottle and doesn't want to start now! He says if it doesn't clear up this week he'll refer us to the hospital, but after spending the first week of ds's life there I dread going back.
So - any tips on how to give diarolyte and no milk to a bf baby? Is this even a sensible approach? What's others' experience here - is it likely to work if we persevere?
