about 3 (maybe 4) weeks ago my ds (nearly 7 months) got over 2 weeks of diahorrea - he was sick for 2 days aswell and his illness progressed to a high fever and he was given anti biotics (the doctor's said it must have been a viral infection). He now has severe diahorrea again (for the past 4 days). He is doing it about once every 2 hours - it is like water at the moment and he needs a change of clothes every time we change his nappy. I feel like it's my fault maybe as I do not sterilise his bottles. I breastfed until 3 months and then sterilised for about 3 weeks but decided to stop after reading a few threads on MN about not needing to sterilise. I'm also worried about his immune system. My dh took ds to the go today and he said he understands our concern and if he still has diahorrea on Monday he can refer him to a Pediatricion at the hospital for some tests. Or am I just worrying too much and is it 'normal' for a baby to have so much diahorrea like this? My dd never had diahorrea as a baby. I did streilise her bottles until 12 months. Sorry for going on, it's getting me down today and in the back of my mind I'm wondering if it's my fault.
