Welcome to motherhood, this is just the beginning

You are earning your stripes!

Hope I didn't panic you

As long as you can get some liquid in her and she is okay in herself I am sure she will be fine

P.S. Buy shares in Calpol now

pedialyte should not replace feeding.... just give her lil zips now and then as often as she takes them.... offer a lil teaspoon every 10-20 minutes..... it could be more often or more separated in time, but seeing she has had multiple continuos discharges is best to have them more often...

don´t force her... just a zip a a time is ok... you don´t have to give her the full bottle nor even a full oz. at a time....

poor baby!!..... if you have vaseline or some rash cream start using it now!!.. to prevent rashes from multiple cleanings she might get dried up and itchy and sore... no matter if you plaster her butt.... it´s a pain when they get nasty rashes down there....

hope she get better soon and her tummy settles....((hugs))

OK... I didn't think it should replace feedings lol but you never know. Wasn't sure on when I should give it to her... that helps a lot Isabel thank you

I have been using Desitin creme for her bum but hubby is picking up some Aquaphor on his way home.

Hope Hannah starts to do & feel better soon. Sounds like you have
everything covered & hopefully she won't get a rash.

It is *so hard* when they are sick, isn't it? We just had the flu a couple of weeks ago, and that was just insane. Yes, I would give her pedialyte after every dirty diaper. I hope she feels better soon!!!

If she won't take pedialyte, you might try gatorade. Mary Joyce didn't like pedialyte, but orange gatorade was a hit. She was older, though, when we had to give it to her--around 10 or 11 months.

so far she seems to like the pedialyte... she drank a bit tonight between feedings. She has had another liquid diaper but is now fast asleep in her crib. Poor thing is exhausted.

Hannah will be in my thoughts tonight, I remember the first illness with my first I was a mess so you will be in my thoughts too.

**krazyaboutkatz** · 02-14-2008, 12:51 AM

I'm sorry to hear that Hannah is sick.

I hope she'll feel and get better very soon. She'll remain in my thoughts and prayers.

**sparks19** · 02-14-2008, 08:42 AM

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone.

Well... knock on wood... things seem to be much better today. So far she hasn't had a poopy diaper today and didnt have any last night either. She did wake me up at 1:30 and I thought for sure it was because of a poopy diaper but it was just a pee bum lol. Turns out she was starving. So I gave her a bottle and she was fast asleep before I could even finish burping her.

She is napping right now. but no poopy diapers yet...keep your fingers crossed

**Pawsitive Thinking** · 02-14-2008, 08:46 AM

That's good to hear

Kids eh

**AdoreMyDogs** · 02-14-2008, 08:46 AM

Awe poor little Hannah. I hope she gets to feeling better today. It IS so hard when our babies get sick. At least she's not acting sick and feaverish, that's much easier on her AND you.
