Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Darla, I think I would stop all milk feedings for 12 hours and give nothing but Pedialyte. This is what the doc had Amie do a couple weeks ago when Audrey had what they were thinking was Rotovirus. How is Asenath doing? Boy! This has been a very long winter!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Zipporrah is really having liquidy diarrhea and I am worried if it goes on very long that she will become dehydrated. She is also vomiting every time she has a feeding. There is a lot of phlegm amonst the milk as well. At first her bowels were light yellow with large "curd-like spots." Then it turned more greenish and thinner and now it is pure liquid that is clear looking. Could this be roto-virus or could this be an allergic reaction to her formula that we have had to give her along with breast milk? (I am not making anough milk to give 100% breast milk.) She has been getting much more milk now than before so at first I thought her output was due to that and then she became irritable after feedings more and more. She seems to be having gassiness and pain during her feeds and I am unsure how to help. I don't know if this is part of her illness since she has a fever, or if it could be the formula, or a combination of both. She is pretty crabby and things are only getting worse. Any help would be appreciated. ER probably wouldn't understand! I want to keep her home as long as it is safe, but don't want to let her get too dehydrated. I am giving her 5 oz. every 3 hours except ot night she goes 6-8 hrs. without feeding. (Other than an occasional nursing snack.) Is this enough to keep her hydrated? I may add pedialite during her sleep with a pump but am afraid she will only loose it again. Any suggestions?Darla: mommy to: Asenath (4) Mito, brain vasculitis, strokes, migraines, seizures, g-tube, disautonomia issues, hypotonia, heat/exercise intolerance, oxygen use, asthma...
