DD has blown out 3 diapers in 10 hours

[Deleted]

Or, Pull Ups, I guess. She was fine most of the day yesterday, then we drove to the lake place with my mom. We arrived to find a giant shit blowout in her car seat (RIP blue jean shorts). Changed that and eventually put her to bed really late. Woke up at 2am to her crying that her belly hurt. Find her total Child's Pose, with poopy pajamas. Change everything, new jammies. Same thing at 5am. We're now out of jammies. Good thing there is a washer and dryer here!

What can I do to make her better? BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apples, toast, right?) I have some pedialyte that I could give her too. She doesn't have a fever.

Poor girl. I think the A in BRAT is applesauce (not sure if it makes a difference). Push the pedialyte if she'll drink it. I hope she feels better soon!

I know this seems counter-intuitive, but could she be constipated? The belly hurting and multiple blowouts and potty-training age made me think of it. If they withhold too long, the softer stuff can get around the blockage (or the whole mess comes out).

It's always possible. We're not actively potty training right now (wanted to be through some summer road trips first). Aould constipation have the every 2 hours thing?

I don't know - it was just the first thing I thought of if she doesn't have a stomach virus.  If she is in more pain after a day of eating binding food like bananas, you could try Miralax.  

Has she had anything different to eat or drink this week?  DD2 is younger (2), but she had juice two days on vacation last week and we had two days of horrible blowouts and gross diapers.  She's had juice before, but maybe the juice boxes this time were bigger or they were a different brand. 

The only thing I can think of is an otter pop Popsicle? Maybe he food coloring is what's triggering it? We don't have any at the lake, so if it resolves on a few days that might be it. Poor baby.

Poor baby. And poor you!

We had an EPIC stomach bug a few months ago. I feel your pain. The only thing that helped was waiting it out unfortunately.

This shit is NASTY. I have a very strong stomach and I was gagging.

Definitely Pedialyte! And chamomile tea, if she'll drink it (cooled off, of course).

Ds just had this over the weekend for the second time in 2 months. We immediately switched to the BRAT diet and just kept everything bland. I stopped giving milk for a few days too. It's awful!
