Diarrhea
Show your support
In America, do you just skip the general practitioner/community doctor and go straight to hospital? Hospitals in the UK are for emergencies and very serious medical issues - we go to our ‘family doctor’ with things like this. I wouldn’t be overly worried about a few days worth of an upset stomachs but if they show other symptoms or it persists for longer than 3/4 days I would go for our doctor firstly
@Monica probably yeah I did change my diet a bit last week and this week for breakfast.
@Jess that could also be it. I changed my diet a bit and the same happened to my 4 month old. Besides him starting to teeth.
@Monica how long diarrhea could last as now what I can do is nurse him often. Also recently he doesn’t nap well and always wanna play.
My 15 week old has been going through the same thing! I would contact your pediatrician but ours said as long as he’s hydrated and doesn’t get worse to observe at home.
@Hana thank Hana- for now we will observe him first
If he doesn’t have 5-6 wet diapers a day or gets a fever bring him to the dr right away! Best of luck!
I thought semi runny was normal?
@Shayla me too. How can you tell the difference between diarrhea and regular newborn poop?
Mine is having the exact same problem and exact same age. I'm thinking it's teething
How do you know it’s diarrhea vs his normal? My son has runny poo, which is normal. Probably won’t get solid until he starts eating real food.
It's possible he is teething already. Or there is a change in your diet that is affecting him.
