Bad stomach

Baby has had diarrhoea now for 3 days, usually only has a dirty nappy once a day but has been having 4-5 at the moment. Baby is still alert, happy, playing etc. When would you mamas be concerned enough for GP/hospital?

I would say if he has dry nappies meaning no weaning , not drinking enough , temperature etc . Is he breastfed or formula ? If breast could be something passed on . If formula I would check if it’s been prepared properly meaning temperature hot enough to kill bacteria . I would still phone the gp tomorrow morning just to double check as it’s been 3 days

We just had this.. but it lasted 2-3 weeks. Really strange, since 6w he would poo once every 1-2 days, then for 2-3 weeks he would be doing several poos a day. He’s now for the past week been doing every 1-2 days again. Not sure what it was, but we did speak to a doctor and they weren’t concerned. My little boy is teething and when they teeth they produce more saliva which will change their poos - so the docs said it could be this.. but who knows. He was pretty happy for those weeks too, the only difference was he wasn’t sleeping as well as before but I assumed we had hit the 4 month regression - not sure if it’s all linked as now his poos are better, he’s back to sleeping well. Not sure if you’re experiencing the same? x

Thanks ladies! My baby has CMPA so milk can only be prepped without a hot shot unfortunately. I’ve got a doctors appointment today so hopefully they can point me in the right direction 🤞🏽
