Gp doesnt believe in teething nappies
So for the last 3 days, my 1yr old has been having diarrhea like nappies, where they are so unbelievably watery, they leak out. He even woke at 4am to do a humongous watery poo!
He keeps tugging ear, and putting hands in mouth. His appetite is the same and still finishes his 3x daily milk bottles.
However GP totally dismissed this and said teething cant cause diarrhea
Can anyone relate?

They say they shouldn't cause it and it's likely to have been caused by an infection (teething weakens immune system meaning more likely to get ill) x
My mom always said that was a thing as her babies (5 of them) had red bums and watery poos while teething, and I have seen it from personal experience with my two. I'd say it is definitely a thing. Just but an extra layer of cream, I have sometimes had to use two different creams at the same time (sudocrem and weleda) to treat his poor bum!
I think that’s because there is no scientific evidence of it, it would be irresponsible for them to just believe anecdotal evidence

Our GP says the same thing. I think it’s mad that every single time my bubba is teethy his poops change xx
