This is her second day of bad, Bad diarreah. She has already had 6 diarreah diapers just today, and probably had 6 or 7 yesterday. It has made a horrible painful diaper rash for her. The only different thing I fed her was instant pistacchio pudding yesterday. Do you think this could be why, and should I take her to the ER? what should I do?

Go ahead and take her. You don't want to take a chance of her getting dehydrated.
And hey people- sometimes it's hard as a parent to know exactly what to do. It isn't like her daughter is laying in the street or something, she isn't in immediate danger. If there are no other parents around to ask an opinion, why not ask the other parents on here? I certainly have debated what level of care my kids needed at one time or another. Give her a break.

If you are concerned enough to ask then you should have already taken her to the ER.
That much diarreah can cause dangerous dehyration. You need to make sure she is getting plenty of liquids during this time.
Get her to the ER or her doctor right away and have her treated. Take care of your baby.
Good luck.

hey, this is the last place you should be getting that kind of advice. If you have to ask, you should have already taken her to a doctor. Not to be mean, but is this the only place you can get advice from? There is no telling what kind of cruel/ignorant responses you'll get on the internet. Call a doctor or someone you can trust that knows about kids as soon as you possibly can.

Babies should NOT be fed "puddings" in their first year and NEVER nuts, honey, fish, strawberries or any other allergy causing foods.
She should be on pedialyte until a doctor sees her (ASAP) she may also have a stomach bug. (The pudding may have spoiled)
Do not store opened jars for more than one day in the fridge.
Make your own baby foods if possible so you know what she is eating, "puddings" can contain a dozen ingredients, all potential irritants to her.
Make fake pudding by mushing banana with some rice cereal or cooked oatmeal.

You can call a doctor and ask them if you don't want to sit in an emergency room for hours. Make sure she keeps fluids in her to make sure she's not going to get dehydrated. i work in a daycare and there are so many kids that get unexplained diarrea. If she's not having any other symptoms, I would just call a doctor and ask them before taking her.

I would just take her to be safe. You never know what it could be. I'm sure she's fine. and it is possible that it was the food. every body reacts differently to each food. Good Luck, hope she's ok!

I think it's crazy that you would take the time to get on the internet and ask random strangers about the growing concern for your baby's health, instead of picking up the phone and calling your pediatrician. GET OFF THE INTERNET AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABY! I feel sorry for your baby for having such a stupid mother.

You decide, call your pediatrician and ask the on-call nurse what you should do.
