Dd is 7 months weaning from 6 months introduced meaty dinners since sat ella's kitchen half meals with veg. She's been eating a few yogurts too.
Normally 1/2 poos a day not watery today she's done 6 watery poos mainly this afternoon- she seems fine in herself happy and playful, no temp, drinking same amount breastmilk- should I be calling doc now see how she is?
Not sure if its the foods she been eating or a bug

It could be the change in diet but have you also thought about teething?! My Dd often gets a runny bum and its usually related to this?!

Thabks She has been dribbling like mad today didn't know that was a sign of teething- is that common?

I think so, its a very definite sign with my Dd. Something to do with the extra saliva produced and swallowed?! Unfortunately it often goes hand in hand with nappy rash in our case too which is pretty miserable. But doesn't appear to bother Dd in the slightest Smile

Not sure whether to call doc my family say I don't need to (I do over worry) going to see how she is tonight

Its hard not to panic when they're ill, I know but it does sound like its down to teething, especially with the dribbling. Just make sure she is hydrated and having lots of feeds. It will probably clear up on its own in a day or so, but if you're at all worried then perhaps try and speak to your doc tomorrow.

I think its a bug, they dont always appear ill. Just make sure she has plenty of fluids. No need to go to doc unless it continues.
