what would newborn diarrhea look like?

DD1, DH and I have all had a vomiting and diarrhea bug, really awful and it's wiped us out. I'm hoping DD2 will avoid it, she's 2 weeks old and breastfed, so hopefully will have antibodies from me to fight it if she picks it up. This morning she has been a bit sicky when she hasn't been at all previously, and she is a bit unsettled, could convince myself her tummy is bothering her. Her poos have been a bit more 'explosive' than normal, but look like normal breastfed poos. Would newborn diarrhea look significantly different?

Sorry, that's a bit garbled, sickness on top of sleep deprivation is no fun.

Good question

I'd ring my gp/hv tbh

Thanks, I'm not really worried about her, she's still feeding well and only a tiny bit is coming back up, compared to dd1 who was a very sicky baby it's nothing. I just would like to know if there's anything else I should be looking out for. Like I said, her poos look normal so far but I wasn't sure if that was likely to change if she has got the same bug.

I'll call the HV if the sickness gets worse.
