if his poo smells different ,it can be a sign of an infection.
But sometimes loose stools are just a reaction to having a high temp. glad he is feeling better though.

My lo has a viral infection - so the doctor thinks, hasn't eaten much either but still a little loose on the nappy side.

I am allowing 48 hours until taking to any groups etc. 48 hours after the last loose nappy.
