Sasha not well.Need advice
« on: July 21, 2006, 13:01:32 pm »
ok
worked out why DD has not been eating great past couple of days (besides the heat 8)!)
this morning she had the most horrendous diarrhoea (sorry :P).
obviously i've been making sure shes been taking plenty of fluids and rest. she seems to want little and often in regards to food (i haven't pushed her to eat).so far shes had toast,cheerios, tomato soup (toddlers own) and some rice cakes.
has anyone any other suggestions

Poor Sasha-Chicken soup?...
Sounds like a stomach bug..lots of fluids is the main thing. Toast and what you are doing sound the best.
HUGS to little Sasha :)

 I think this is doing the rounds my ,little man had it last week although he was fine in himself but just not taking on as much milk.

he had it for about a week in total.

keep up the fluids and good luck with the nappies, i wont miss them ;D

For diarrhoea there's the BRAT diet

B - bananas
R - rice
A - apples (stewed)
T - toast (it's supposed to be tea, but los can't have it!)

Oh and the chicken soup is good if you add rice - something about the mixture of the protein and starch helps the body absorb water better. Carrot soup is also supposed to be soothing for the gut, and the beta-carotene helps too.

Also - don't use baby-wipes if you can help it - the skin on her botty might get sore with all this ick coming out, and the wipes may make it worse - just use damp cotton wool until she's better.

HTH,  :-* to poorly lo

How about yogurt or something to help her tummy??  There is something in yogurt (acidopholus sp???) that is supposed to help upset tummys.

Also, I agree with Charlie's Mummy.  No wipes.  Sometimes I fill up our sink halfway with warm water and then just soak DS's bum in it to clean it off.
(Don't forget to clean the sink with bleach or some strong cleaner... ;) ;))


FEEL BETTER LITTLE SASHA!!!

thanks for the advice ladies!!!!!
last time she had a tummy upset i remember not using baby wipes as her bottom was so sore :(.
Charlies mummy-was thinking about giving her some rice tonight!!! and she loves bananas ;D
TDR's mom-gave her some yoghurt as well today as i thought that would be easier on her stomach.
hopefully she'll feel better soon-fortunately shes sleeping well ;D-

Just be happy that she is eating!!! :) :) :)

How is her bum (sorry to get so personal).   One time, the Dr suggested I let DS go without diapers to let things dry out down there.  Pretty risky...but I understand the point.
