I would rreally like some opinions on whether I'm being too laid back or if I'm over anxious!!
DS, 9Mo has gaastroenteritis (we've all had it but his is still ongoing)
He started with diarrhoea on friday evening, had a few episodes of diarrhoea on saturday and also hada few small vomits after feeds (difficult to say if this was the gastro as he has been gagging and vomitting a lot, has had some very heavy colds, very mucousy).
Then yesterday we all cam down with it badly, he is 'off' feeds but since midnight last night he's taken, 5 oz,(midnight) 5 oz (5 am) then refused until 3pm when he had 3 oz. Took another 3 to 4 at 6pm but then had a coughing fit and vomitted the whole lot up.
Has been irritable and sleepy most of the day but did perk up when having his bath this p.m, still able to take an interest and smile etc when he wants to.
Very difficult to tell how much wee he's passed as he's had at least three or four iepisodes of diarrhoea todayinto his nappy.
Considered buying some ddiarolyte but to be honest he has to date completely refused to take either water or 'baby' juice which I have tried him on afew times just to see if he will take anything other thsn milk.
Sorry for long post but I am worried and would really appreciate some advice.
