Hi All,

I have a Mom with a 8 month old baby.  Baby has severe diarrhea, he was just
released from the hospital yesterday (dehydration).  Mom feels that she got
no satisfaction at the hospital.  Baby was OK when exclusively nursed, but
seems to want table food and is less interested in the breast.  Once he has
table food, about 3 days later he begins having the diarrhea, runny stool
containing recognizable food from 3 days previously!  I encouraged her to
try to continue to breastfeed more often and she is visiting her ped tomorrow.
Due to the diarrhea he has severe diaper rash and Mom is trying to clear it
up but nothing seems to be working.  This is the third child, first had some
allergies.  Any ideas, you smart, wonderful people out there!  Thank you in
advance.
