Today's Status

Hi,

well due to the diarrhoea last night, my Sister-in-law who's a paediatrician has recommended staying off the formula today, and only having breast milk, dioralyte and maybe toast.  May also try banana later.

Aaron's in a good mood, just doesn't have his normal energy.

I will keep editing the below as the day goes on.


Last night
  • explosive diarrhoea last night that came out of his nappy 10 p.m.
  • bath (bottom half).
  • refused liquids.
  • refused breast milk.
  • Asleep by 11 p.m. in cot.
Today (Wednesday 30th March)
  • Woke in cot at 5 a.m.
  • Breastfed back to sleep in our bed.
  • Woke 7.30 a.m.
  • Breastfed back to sleep in our bed.
  • 9:15 a.m. drank 60 ml of dioralyte.
  • 10 a.m. drank 30 ml of dioralyte.
  • 10:15 a.m. breastfeeding while sleeping on Mum.

  • 1:45 p.m. eats 3 teaspoons of cooked rice with organix baby food on for some sauce.
  • 2:00 p.m. drinks 20 ml of diluted blackcurrant cordial (free of aspartame!).
  • THE INCREASE IN ENERGY AFTER THE ABOVE IS REMARKABLE - crawls for ten minutes.
  • 2:10 p.m. breastfeeds. 
  • Breastfeed him frequently all afternoon.
  • 5:20 p.m. eats half a banana in accordance with the BRAT diet.
  • FINGERS CROSSED - he HAS kept everything down and in so far today........ here's hoping 
  • 6 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.  Eats bits of brown bread and bits of brown toast and plays with it really cheerfully in his highchair. 
  • 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. drank 140 ml of dioralyte.
  • 10:30 p.m. ate three apple Organix rice crackers.
  • 11 p.m. am about to breastfeed him to sleep and put him to bed.
  • Night night!
