Ok, I'm new to this and I may sound like an idiot, so bear with me. Rhi is 10 months and she woke up crabby this morning, but I didn't think anything of it. She only ate half her cereal (the dog was very hapy about that!!) and would not take more than one 5 oz bottle all day. She wouldn't eat her lunch cereal or take another bottle. She was in bed by 6pm and woke up at 7:30pm for a 4 oz bottle and went back to sleep. Her tummy was gurgling (not growling) and she has straight up green diarrhea. She doesn't have a fever, but seemed really uncomfortable so I gave her half a dose of baby Tylenol. I don't know if she's just got an upset tummy or a virus. The on post Dr will only see her in like a month. I don't want to take her to the ER unless it's a true emergency, so I guess I just watch and see. Thank goodness I'm off work till Wed.

I would go to the dr. If I'm reading it right 9oz. and 1/2 a bowl of cereal isn't enough. It sounds like she may have a virus....but little ones can get deydrated realy quickly so unless you can get her to take more fluids I'd go in to be on the safe side. :hugs I hope she feels better soon.

I'm gonna wake her up in a few hours and see if she'll take some Pedialite or a bottle.

sounds like a good plan....you can try white grape juice, or popsicles too...I was thinking she isn't teething is she?

Not a tooth in sight. I think she's going to be a late teether like I was:blush I have some popsicles, maybe if I slush one up she'll eat it:dunno
