having a baby was a peice of cake for me, i got lucky i suppose. listening to her cry for six straight hours would get on my nerves, but having diarrhea would probably be worse.

I have a six month old and an 8 year old and being a mother is the hardest job you will ever have but its also the most rewarding. Take a bath with your child only a few inches of water please,they are slippery. Sing to him or her. Walk with your baby out in the air if possible. Also and very important take time out for you. Your body and mind have just been through a category 4 hurricane and hormones are nuts so breathe,smile,relax kiss your baby they are precious.

Labor.  I eventually had a c-section after 24 hours of labor, I'd take the c-section recovery over labor.

yes, to no fever...\ndrink clear liquids only....no milk or dairy.  drink sips,like 1 oz every 30 minutes for a few hours then 2 oz every 30 minutes over a few hours....and so on...\nclear liquids are gatorade(R), sweet tea, water, popsicles, jello, flat soda....if he continues to vomit and have diarrhea for longer than 24 hours, go to the ED.\nonece the vomiting stops, so should the diarrhea.  if the diarrhea should turn bloody, then go to the ED immediately.

Babies often have higher fevers than adults, but it's still something to take to a professional.  Ear infections can have dangerous consequences if they're left unchecked.

If I have to choose between the two, I would say the Preachy one is worse.\nPersonally, I rather deal with the patronizing one, because I know what I would be dealing with, than the sweet holier than thou preachy one.

Well, there is a couple of things we need to know:\n\nDoes she have a fever? No fever means it is unlikely to be an infection or appendices.\n\nDoes it hurt to the touch? If it does you should consider taking her to the ER if she is doubling over in pain when you push on her stomach.\n\nI am making the assumption here that there is no physical appearence of injury. If there is you will need to determine the severity in order to determine taking her to the doctor.\n\nWhen is the last time she had a bowel movement? It could be gas or constipation, and she just may not understand what is going on. Give her some juice and rock her to see if this gets thinks moving. Assuming there was no fever and no pain to the touch, though there can be pain to the touch with gas as well.\n\nIt could also be as simple as her being tired. Some children will have tummy trouble when they are over tired.\n\nAlso, be sure to think through what she has eaten today. Was there anything out of the norm? And can you be absolutely certain that she did not eat anything toxic? Watch for sign of vomiting or diarreha that could indicate something more severe.\n\nIf symptoms persist or worsen you should certain seek medical assistance. You know your child better than anyone, if she is crying for prolonged periods or rolling around in pain it would be a good idea to seek immediate assistance tonight. If she is able to lay down and fall asleep comfortably without any of the above issues, then you are probably okay to way until tomorrow and reavaluate the situation, but we not doctors. We can only give you advice based on experience. Ultimately you have to follow your gut and best judgment. \n\nHope everything works out!

I don't know if you've been using the antidiarrheal for all 3 days but sometimes it's better to let these things run their course and allow your body to rid itself of whatever the irritation is.  If you prefer to use an antidiarrheal, I hope it's loperamide (Imodium).  The noises you hear are likely borborygmos.  It's coming from your intestines, not your stomach.  It's the sound of hyperperistalsis.  Continue with the fluids, and use the BRAT diet - Bread, Rice, Applesauce and Tea.  Advance your diet to regular foods when your stools have become semisolid or more formed for 24 hours.  If your stools continue to be watery for another 2 days see your doctor.

My water broke 9 days before my baby was born.  I was in the hospital in labor for 37 hrs., after reaching 1 cm.  But that first 1 cm. took almost 8 days.  \n\nI pushed for about 7 hours continuously!  I was told that it was a record: 10:20 PM until 5:17 AM.  My baby girl was stuck big time!  And, they could not do a c-section on me because I'm severely allergic to latex.  The c-sect Dr. tried his best to deliver my baby by using suction & forcepts.  Nothing worked!  Eventually, he had to let my Dr. take over while he got the c-sect room ready latex-free.  I told him that I would push my baby out myself!  So, I did, just 3 min. before he showed up to get me.  I was ripped clear up into my rectum!  She was big!  That hurt!  \n\nMy poor Dr. had just gotten off the plane from his vacation in Hawaii when I had already been in labor several hours.  Next time, by delivery was planned!  No vacation for him when I'm having a baby!  LOL  \n\nMy second childbirth only took 1 1/2 hours total.  Only took a few pushes.  Go figure!

I once put my daughter in the car to take her to the doctor's office. We got all the way to the clinic and when I went to take her out of her carseat she was wearing her shirt and pants, but no diaper. She'd soaked herself and her carseat. i had to go home and reschedule the appointment. It had been a stressful day at work and I'd rushed to get home and take her to get shots.. At least she wasn't sick.
