It's not just runny, it's very watery with "bits" in it and it smells horrid. Most likely he's protected by the antibodies you've been making. The fever might mean he had a very light case of whatever bug it is. --Helen Ok, good. He hasn't had anything like that and seems fine again today. Thanks! -Lora |

There's runny, and then there's watery stuff that absolutely STINKS and needs to be hosed off your baby because it's escaped from the nappy in all directions. Tip: put child in laundry tub before attempting to remove any clothes. Soiled clothes can then go in the bucket and you can rinse the child off easily. Heh, I will keep that in mind! He hasn't had anything like that thank goodness, but at least I know what to look for. I'm so thankful it appears he won't get sick, I hate to think of him feeling as bad as I felt. -Lora |
