Should I keep DD off solids, stick to milk and water? She's very happy in every other way and has tried to eat but it comes straight out again. Many thanks mums!

Try to cut back on milk for a couple of days as it harbours the bad bacteria in the gut and therefore takes longer to clear up but make sure she keeps up with lots of fluids (naturally sweetened juices, rather than only water all the time, as she will lose salts otherwise).
Just give her what she fancies to eat but try to keep dairy to minimum. Crackers/toast/dry cereals etc all good.
If it gets worse or you see no improvement after a couple of days, I'd take her to GP to get check up. If she's well in herself with lots of wet nappies, then it should get better soon. But always take to gP if unsure.
