Hi


My 6 vmonth old has had a cold and cough this week which developed to the squits on Thursday. I took him to the hospital and they advised it is just a virus which he probably caught at nursery as this is his first week. The doctor advised to forget food and just give him water and milk.


Today he is really happy and back to his old self but sleeping a lot and filled about 10n nappies, they did say it would get worse, I am just wondering if anybody has any advice. My aunty, who has brought up lots of children thinks that milk is not good for diarrhoea, however as he is only 6 vmonths old he has only just started solids and i think he needs the milk to keep him going


Is anybody else experiencing this and got any good advice?

I had a similar bout with my then 10 week old a few weeks ago


It was explained to me (by a baby doctor) that milk was the best thing as it rehydrates. Milk provides both nutrients and water to properly rehydrate

Is better than water alone and much much better than solid food


That explaination seemed logical to me


Edit to say: asda have a '3 for ?10' nappy offer at the moment. Their nappies are the best value IMO. Just like pampers at fraction of the cost. Assuming you're using disposables

Good luck with it and hope it gets better. Ours lasted about 3-4 days.

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
