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 ?

They said I have to stay on them but will be finished Sat his poo had turned Green bless him just want Sat to hurry up and come now!

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
