My 4 month old baby has had constant diarrhoea for 3 weeks now and I keep being fobbed off by doctors saying they don't worry about this as long as the baby seems happy enough.
Sorry if tmi, but it's green, runny/mucosy blobs and doesn't really smell as such. It's so bad it has caused horrendous nappy rash.
It hasn't really affected his appetite, although he squirms a lot when feeding, but I think its because every time he feeds, he then poos.
We're talking at least 10 dirty nappies every day and I'm at my wits end as not only am I worried sick about what could be wrong with him, but it's getting to the stage it's impractical to leave the house and as I also have a 2.5 year old, he's getting fed up hanging around the house while all I seem to do is change nappies and clean up poo and hardly have time in between to do anything with him.
The situation has also been complicated by the fact that he got some kind of bug/virus over the weekend and was sick and had even worse diarrhoea than usual. He's now hardly feeding at all.
Anyone experienced anything similar? Thanks in advance.
