Anyone's personal expieriences with this? Please Advice!10 Week Old Sick Bad Diarrhea Advice Please?
i dont think i would worry too too much unless he stops drinking so long as he is drinking and wetting diapers (pee) then he isnt dehydrated he is fine just sick. i would wait until tuesday and keep an eye on fevers and how much he is drinking and peeing. if anythuing changes then take him to the e.r if not then the doc on tuesday is fine. good luck and hope the little tyke feels better soon!10 Week Old Sick Bad Diarrhea Advice Please?
if he's been sick for OVER a week already I'd be taking him to the ER as it is really easy for babies with diarrhea to get dehydrated. YOu shouldn't give your baby anything for his diarrhea that the doctor has not okayed, if you start medicating him on your own you could do more harm than good. Good Luck. :)
Takle him to the ER immediately if you haven't already! A week long of sick and diarrhea is too long for a baby and they can become extremely dehydrated!





This can become a potential life threatening issue, do not wait until Tuesday!
I would take him to the ER. He seems to be really sick. And he needs to see a dr as soon as you can get him to one, so take him the the ER. You dont want to take a chance with a baby that young.
I would take him to the ER, since it has been over a week. They may just tell you to keep him hydrated because thats the best you can do for a baby with diarrhea. Still, I would have him checked out ASAP.
This is nothing to play around with... watch this CDC video about children dying from the flu in 48 hours:

I would take him to the Dr before Tuesday.. go to the ER if you have to. Diarrhea for over a week.. could be something more serious.. or not.. but, better safe then sorry.
