> Uneventful post-natal period up until about 2 weeks ago. Was breastfeeding very well from birth for 16 weeks.  First child (now 2) fed for 8 days due to "attachment problems".  Suffered post-natal depression after birth of first baby (now resolved after counselling & support groups); she says she feels fine now. 
> Present baby now stopped breastfeeding from both breasts when he was ill with a high fever for 2 days, followed by appearance of a rash. Was hospitalised and found to be dehydrated and received IV fluids. Mother started expressing with hand pump while staying with baby in hospital and feeding EBM in a bottle. Baby then discharged and doctor says fever and rash caused by "a virus". Over this time of illness, nappy count had reduced. Now having adequate urine output again and apparently rehydrated. However, bowel movements pattern has changed; not loose & yellow anymore, but between yellow & brown, sometimes green and "smell disgusting". Baby gets some wind and draws legs up as if in discomfort. GP has ordered stool samples, awaiting results. Also waiting on results from stool samples taken whilst in hospital.>
