My Ds has this at the mo since Sunday am.
Teething at the mo too. No sickness, happy in himself apart from teeth. Not eating a great deal.
Baby rice, bread and potato and leek mix offered,drinking all his milk and a sips of water.Bought some rehydrartion powders today, not having much succes with getting him to drink it though. I rang Health Visitor on Tues am, she gave me the above advice and she is coming out to me tomorrow am anyhow.Any advice on this would be much appreciated in the meantime. Thanks.

agree with essbee. I was given some great advice by a peadeatrician (sp) when Ds was very young.

'Treat the child, not the symptons'

So if you child had mild diahorrea but was very much under the weather then you'd have cause for concern but as he in himself is quite normal and showing no other signs of being ill you probably really dont have anything to worry about (easy for me to say, sorry).
