This is the first time my son is sick. He's 12 months and has diarhea. I've called his peditrican and they tell me they don't see children for this unless they've had it for more than two weeks. It's only been four days for us.
I'm following their instructions with pedialyte every 1-2 hours, at least two servings of yogurt, and starchy foods. But, I've seen no improvement. In fact, this morning no wet diapers yet we had a nasty diarhea diaper (one time so far).
He's clumsy, very pale, and won't eat anything except the pedialyte and yogurt. I'm most concerned about the lack of wet diapers. He slept for 12 hours and his diaper looked like he had one pee the whole time. That was at 7:30. From 7:30 until now he has had no pee (two hours). I did the skin test and it took a few seconds to get back to normal color.
It seems like he's loosing the pedialyte with each diaper. Is this normal? I just dont' know...
(Please no mean comments. I am a new mommy!!)
