My 2yo DD has been having very loose stools 1 or 2 times per day for five days now. (We're trying to get an appt with a local doctor, but they say they're booked for two weeks and our ped's office told us to wait a few more days before coming in....but I'd like to help her while we wait.)
I don't think she has any other symptoms (no vomiting, no chills, no fever) We did (DH, me, and DD) have a stomach flu with vomiting a few weeks ago for about one to two days. She's still in diapers, and they are leaking poo and are very upsetting to her. (Incidentally, DH and I are not "normal", either, but since we use the toilet, it's not been as obvious of a problem to us.)
The only new foods we've had have been butter, chicken, and eggs from the farmer's market (so, they should be fine, I'd think, but I guess you never know.)
She will only occasionally accept foods from the BRATY diet, and I've been giving her other things to make sure she eats *something*. She's not nursing, but yesterday I was able to pump an ounce (DS is nursing) and mix it in with her water in her Klean Kanteen, and she hasn't complained.
What else can I do? I wish I could help my LO.
