Baby has diarrhea for the 5th day now?

Question

my son was allergic to cows milk formula, and soy formula so the doc switched him to Nutramigen hypo-allergenic formula. We just started it 4days ago.. but he still has some diarrhea. Its not mucousy or bloody anymore but it is really watery. I am wondering why this is happening and can it take a while for him to adjust?

Answer 1

I would call my doctor even be down there at the office everyday until they do something! He's to young to just let it go!

Answer 2

doesnt sound real good ...id get him back to the dr if i were you

Answer 3

Considering your child's age, all of the previous answers are spot on. Call the doctor right away. At that young of an age, any illness can be very serious, it is best not to mess around.

Remember that just because your son has a formula allergy, it is not necessarily the cause of all of his digestive issues. He could have a stomach flu or other virus, or any number of other things.

Answer 4

The age?

Answer 5

I agree with the other answers. Call your doctor asap.  

Answer 6

This question is too important to not ask your doctor. You need to call his answering service right away.  

Answer 7

5 days is not good. I'd take him to the Doctor again.  That causes dehydration in a hurry.  At least give him some Pedialyte.  It has electrolytes in it to help restore what he's lost from diarrhea, plus hydrate him.
