runny poo- teething?

[Fuchsia!]

Is diarreoh (sp?) a symptom of teething? I can't remember! Coop has usually solid poos and this arvo he done a very runny one.

I know he's teething, he has rosey cheeks, very grizzly, trying to chew anything he can get a hold off. He also has green runny nose so im not sure if maybe he might be coming down with something too...I dunno!!! Help!!! Not sure if i want to give him panadol. The teething gel doesn't seem to be working and i don't want another sleepless night!!

Did anyones elses bub have runny poo while teething???

Yeah, i notice my kids when teething they get runny poos, but it's different to when they have diahroea (sp?) They smell really acidy and are watery but still have formed bits in them(IYKWIM) and i noticed that my DD's bums would burn almost instantly with the poos. I had to change them straight away or they would get red raw bums.

Sounds like it could be teeth, but just keep an eye on it. If he starts getting lots of runny nappies and dehydrates, it may be something more.

Hope he gets better soon for you. :hugs:

Yep for sure, we are just going through another bout of it with the two top teeth, Its always much smellier than usual too.
I was unsure if was teeth again but they are red and swollen and shes not putting anything in her mouth its that sore and very very grizzly which is so unlike her...Gave her panadol and she was all sweet again.

Could be a tummy bug or teeth, hard to know really. Just keep the fluids up and a eye on wet nappies :thumbsup:
