My Little Ds had Norovirus or something like it last week, spent wednesday on the childrens ward for dehydration, it was 7 days of shit and projective vomit.. to say i was well pleased when he seemed normal is an understatement and a half.

Today however we have a happy baby but with a massive destended tummy who' burping and farting like a trooper, his nappys are grim, pale and frothy. I know what it is but i don't know what i am supposed to do about it. I tried ringing the childrens ward for advice which is what they told me to do but they told me to take him to A&E or my GP if I was worried

So, what do i do ?

My DD had the same when she was a toddler and we just gave her soya milk for a couple of weeks. No so easy with a massively underweight baby who's still breastfed !

So, what do i do ?

Anyone ?

try colief?? It breaks down the lactose in the milk (breast or bottle fed).

I've just spoken to the ooh dr and he suggested trying the same thing. I'm going to get some gripe water too.

Poor boy, I think he's been taking trumping lessons from his Dad !
