DD has had D&V for nearly a week now, GP says nothing he can do, please come and help me.

DD is nearly 11mo, she has been ill since a week last Sunday.

She started with a cold, but on Thursday she began to have D&V. She still has D&V today, it will be a week tomorrow since she started with the D&V.

I have made an appointment with the GP again, but according to the receptionist it is pot luck who we get to see as the appointment is short notice. SO if we get the Mr again out of our team of GP's as opposed to the Mrs, please tell me what to say to him.

I know he thinks I am some nurotic first time mum, but it isn't right is it that an 11mo has D&V for nearly a week and has been generally ill since a week last Sunday.

DD has lost over 3 lbs she was 22lbs before she was ill, she is now 18lbs 11ounces.

We could set the clock by DS, on the first day it would be in the evening, then the next few mornings at 5am precisely!

glad she is on the mend if she is hungry let her eat but stick with little and often and keep the fluids going. Banana is excellent, so is toast (and just for now - plain biscuits, rusks etc are a good source of energy and easy on the stomach).

The morning and evening vomiting is a bit harder to explain although it is very common, but there are a lot of different hormones controlling the body functions, the levels of which change over the course of the day and this may be having an affect.

Thanks, DD seems so much better now and is sleeping atm and I must go and get some cleaning done while she is sleeping but MN is so bloody addictive

glad she is a bit better now. I have just remembered, it's called the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, apple, toast. These are the things that are easily digestible after a tummy bug, although I think the apples should be cooked.
