need advice and reassurance. dd was throwing up all food on wed night and on thurs no more puke but she has diarrhoea. today she still feeds well and i have stopped solids and she is only on breastmilk since thursday morning. she is wks and i am concerned because after every breast feed she poos and today i have changed 6 nappies with poo which is unusual for her as she usually only went once every 3 days. how long will this last and when should i start solids again? any advice is appreciated thanks.

How many weeks is she? She'll be fine on bm until she feels better in herself. Don't worry about the nappies, I did 10 in one morning when ds last had a bout of diarrhoea.

i read on here that carrot soup will really help a tummy bug in about 24 hours good luck hope shes well soon

I think the recommendation is 24 hours on fluids only and then try basic foods like BRAT? Can't remember what these stand for though - think the B is for banana. Someone else will come along who knows better. Hope dd and your washing machine recover soon from the experience!!!
