Been given ethromyacin antibiotics. . But noticed that little man had started having very runny poos..

Dint want him to suffer. .. just don't know what to do. .. have another 2 days worth. .. thinking of stopping them... is not good if he is getting the runs is it as they can dehydrate easily. ... looks like another trip back to drs!

Awwrh! poor thing

I'm thinking your G.P wouldn't have "deliberately" giving you something to take which could harm the baby though, but it's definetely worth double checking.

Maybe these "antibiotics" could be a Lil too strong ?

Wait til you hit one nappy being green and the next orange!! How do they do that?? ;-p

I've spent a large proportion of my life as a mummy on antibiotics (recurrent mastitis ) with some interesting nappy responses! It's very, very unlikely that antibiotic diarrhoea would lead to dehydration if your baby is feeding as normal. The other consideration is why you are on antibiotics. I'm very pro- antibiotics at the moment - without them, my mastitis could quite easily have killed me - certainly would have done 70 years ago, plus my LO too as no food! Stopping a course early also has a very real potential side effect of breeding resistance. Antibiotics need to be given more respect

How long have you been in them? X
