Answer 1

There is a virus going around my godchild was put in the hopital for 3 days.You might need to make an appointment for your baby because it is contagious.And i wouldnt want your baby to get seriously sick with it.



Rotavirus
One of the most common causes of severe diarrhea and vomiting, among infants and children is a virus that most mothers have never even heard of…the Rotavirus.What is the Rotavirus? It is a virus that not only most children get by the time they are 3 years old, but most people get it every year. However, the symptoms range for each person. For a child, generally the most severe is the first time it is contracted. For adults it is likely to just cause a little diarrhea or stomach ache, which most would hardly notice. It is estimated that 70,000 children are hospitalized, and another 150,000 are brought into emergency rooms each year. Approximately 100 children die each year from Rotavirus complications.

Answer 2

How old is your baby? Try giving the baby something called Flora-Q. They are capsules and you break them apart and put the powder in the baby's food or bottle and it is a probiotic strain that helps with the diarrhea. Be sure and give the baby PLENTY of fluids to keep him/her well hydrated. The LAST thing you want is for him/her to get dehydrated. Either try Pedialyte or a cheaper, but still effective option is Gatorade mixed in half with water. If you can't find the Flora-Q, try Lactinex.....it's the same thing. If your baby will eat yogurt, it has probiotic strains in it as well. Also....don't give your baby anything that begins with a 'P' such as peas, pears, peaches, pineapples......all of these can make the diarrhea worse. Try giving the baby cereal bars, oatmeal, bananas....anything that will help to make the stool more solid. Hope this helps! This information all depends on how old your baby is also!

Answer 3

You should call your pediatrician. If the baby has not had a wet diaper for several hours he/she may be dehydrated. You should give clear liquids (any that you can see through) Liquids that contain sugar may further upset the baby's stomach. Pedialyte is often recommended if you can get the baby to drink it. Stick with a bland diet appropriate for your baby's age. Be sure to change its diaper as soon as you are aware of diarrhea because it will cause raw skin. Also use a skin protectant because this will help to prevent any diaper rash or irritation caused from frequent diaper changes. The best advice will come from the baby's pediatrician, so please call before your baby becomes dehydrated.

Answer 4

No I don't sorry but here is some advice that I heard helps.Since your baby is not keeping any food or fluids down they could get dehydrated.I heard pedilyte helps.It keeps them hydrated.And it gives them vitamins that they are losing from diarrea and vomiting.I hope your baby feels better.Tell me how this works.My baby had diarrea and we gave her pedialyte and it helped her.You dont want to give a child milk that has diarrea.It will only make it worse.Just keep the baby hydrated with pedilyte.If it gets worse go see a pediatrician immediately.Good luck again.Hope your baby feels better.

Answer 5

I agree with the others - get that baby to a doctor! Babies are so small, that it doesn't take long for them to get seriously dehydrated.

If the child is older, as in around a year, here is what was recommended to me for my son when we both had it.

NO FOOD.
Give 1 oz pedialyte (not juice, not gatorade, not pop, not water. Pedialyte) every 20 minutes.
When that stays down, no vomiting for one hour, increase it to two ounces every twenty minutes.
When that has stayed down for two hours, then three ounces every twenty minutes.
Then, after that has stayed down for three hours, you can start on mild foods if your child is hungry.
If the runs and pukes continue, call your ped.

Answer 6

just keep her hydrated. jello counts as a liquid! also popcisles. other than that you need to feed or give her a drink in small portions to help with the vomiting. goodluck if this is the rotovirus she can be doing this for 10-14 days.

Answer 7

If your baby is under six months you should take him/her to a doctor straight away!

Make sure your baby is getting a lot of fluids, as vomiting and diarrhoea cause dehydration.

Answer 8

you said BABY. now when i hear "baby" i think of 8 months or young. older than that i think of toddler. if your BABY is young and doing that you should get to a doctor or emergency room right away.

Answer 9

You are crazy to not go to the doctor! Go immediately... it can be very serious like ingesting poison can cause this. Food poisoning can cause this if its a minor case.

Answer 10

I would take her/him to ER, stat! Babies w/vomiting & diarhea can dehydrate pretty quickly!
