My 14 wks DDs got Diorrhea

4 replies

My DD has diorrhea and is pooing at least 5-6 times per day.

She has normal apetite and apart from her very red bottom, is bearing up well.

She is breast fed, with formula once per day at night.

Should i be worried or should i just keep on feeding her, and changin her nappy?

She is not vomiting.

HELP please, any advice from those who have experienced this please.

if you can I would only give her your milk and not formula. I seem to remember when my DD had this when she was younger, they asked if she was on formula (she wasn't), bec I think (but please check) you have just give them water, but breastfeeding is fine, and I think feed more often too. As I said please double check this but I know for certain that carrying on breastfeeding is a good thing to do.

Thanks migola, I will double check, however, I think you're right, I will keep to breast milk only and offer her water as well. Leaving out the formula will probably help, as it is a cow derivative, and that could be irritating her whilst shes under the weather.

I will double check, tho.

no probs, hope she gets better soon
it's horrible isn't it, I remember once counting 16 poos in one day!

Things seem to have settled now. Only doing a few poos a day now. The bright green ones have long gone.
Have stuck to the breastmilk only, which i think has helped.
