my little j is a poorly boy :(

[iwillNOTletthisbeatme]

hes had awful diarrhea most of the day and is really not himself so were off to the drs in a couple of hours.hes slept on and off since this morning.

Aww, that's a shame. How old is he? Hope you get on ok at the docs.

hes only 6 months and a sorry little state.

That's young, you are doing the right thing going to the docs.

the annoying thing is i feed him myself so goodness knows whats going on!

At least you know they can't blame it on formula! What time is his appointment?

not until 4 but well have to get going soon.fingers crossed its something and nothing!hes just so sleepy with it

Did you try him on anything except breastmilk? He's probably telling you that is his preferred option: YOU and YOU only. Clever boy, but I can understand that you are worried. Let's know how you get on?

hes only had one yogurt the day before yesterday?hes got a temperature so somethings going on.i need this like a hole in the head.anyway im off to get him sorted and to the drs.

Poor little love to you and him. Praying for you both. xxxxxx

thankyou.ive got to keep feeding him and try and get as much cool boiled water down him as can.keep checking his fontanelle and just pray i dont end up having to take him to hospital again.his temperature has gone down which is what i was more worried about after last time.so now i just have to wait.guess who wont be sleeping much again tonight

hope j feels better soon, lots of hugs to you both

thankyou jes.i think this is going to be a very long night

well i will be about later for a chat but have to go to asdaat some point, my cooker needs part not in stock so need some microwave meals.

i might be about later.im going to see how things are here ok.just giving him a feed before i try and tackle the water with him again

Hi Hope he's feeling better soon... Have you tried Medised? Might help him sleep as well as keep his temp down.

You can't get medised for under two's any more.

Hope he's much better soon x

hes only 6 months?didnt think you could give it to babies??

Sorry...didn't realise! I've just checked what's in my cupboard as been giving it to mine but 2 bottles both say 3+ months? Phew!

I wonder when they changed that as only bought these recently in Sainsburys.

oh IwillNOT so sorry to hear your DS is poorly. Hope he has a peaceful night.
Remember we are hear if you need us.

Try drinking as much bland fluids as you can yourself Iwill so that you have enough breastmilk for him which is always better than water

Naughty Sainsbos.
There is a large list of medications - I believe containing types of antihistamines or decongestants - including Calpol Night, Medised, cough medicines etc etc which have been removed from open shelves and which now need to be requested through pharmacist approval, for 2+years only. I think this was because some parents weren't adhering carefully to the dosing instructions and potentially overdosing, which in very young children is dangerous.
There may be another reason - sure others will be along to share.
Check with GP or pharmacist if you're worried.

Will be a full list somewhere there.

IWNLTBM - breastfeeding really comes into its own at times like this. Since little people feed for comfort, it's highly unlikely that a bf baby will dehydrate as a formula fed one will, and IME they get over diarrhea quicker than formula fed babies. Don't worry too much about that cooled boiled water. Nature has given you a brilliant way of looking after him.

Sending him lots of good wishes to get better soon. Hope you can snuggle up in bed together once he's a bit better, and look after each other.

well i had to get the dr out an hour ago.he was being sick.temp up a bit and just not with it tbh.the dr didnt seem over worried though and has left me with dioralyte.so ive got to keep feeding him as much as i can.carry on giving him water and now the dioralyte.which he has pushed out his mouth poor little j
