8 month old -diarrhea for 3 weeks (as in, tonnes of nappy changes!!) - teething???

[HannahClareRose]

Hello all,

So we took our 8 month old down to my in laws for a couple weeks, and whilst she was there she began with diarrhea -not necessarily runny all the time, but very frequent -we're getting through about 10 - 15 nappies in 24 hours. She's pooping when she wakes in the night (which she does anyway) and sometimes only half an hour after the last one. She is also teething like crazy -no teeth yet but they look very close and think she may be cutting one now, she is always drooling and biting things. She also gets very red and sore on her bum.
Originally I thought she has picked up a bug, and I thought I'd wait it out as she didn't appear ill otherwise -very lively, into everything, taking her bottles, though perhaps a bit more fussy with food. However it's not gone -I've booked a doc appointment on Mon but I thought I would ask on here as I have heard diarrhea can be linked to teething. But does this sound like it could possible just be that!? I am curious as to whether anyone else's baby on here has had this.

Thanks in advance for reading!

It could just be teething. What are you using on her bum?
