DD2 (4 months) was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night with Viral Gastroentoritis (sp?) - we were allowed home late wednesday night with her able to keep dioralyte down but no milk - she had stopped vomitting but still had the diarrhea.

It's now 4 days on and she still has the diarrhea - how long should this go on for ? She is back on her milk but only 2-4oz at a time.

Thanks for the reassurance. Unfortunately cannot try rice as DD2 is only 20 weeks.

She only had 3 dodgu nappies yesterday and none so far today so hopefully it is all clearing up - she is definitely getting her apetite back now, started to getseriously frustrated when I take her bottle away after a few ounces

glad to hear she is getting better.

Foghorn - that is a definite sign she wants her food - that is exactly what DS did after his op and he had never done that before.

Glad she is on the mend

definitely sounds like she's on the mend - that's great!

that's really good foghorn. It is so awful when they are ill and it seems like it will never end but then eventually they do turn a corner and the relief is amazing. Hope she continues to improve.
