teething and diarrhea?

Reece is teething and his two bottom teeth are coming in. Well for the past 3-4 days he has had 1-2 diarrhea diapers a day. Is this normal or should I contact the ped. tomorrow?

 

Diarrhea is very common with teething. With my oldest, who at 2 still goes through this when cutting teeth, starts with spitting up, red cheeks and fever diahrea, then he gets a tooth. If it does continue though for a week, I would contact his ped, but he should be fine.

 

Yeap. Very normal.

 

A lot of doctors will tell you it isn't related, but a lot of moms will say it is definitely related. I have no idea, my kids never had diarrhea when teething. But, I would say if that's his only symptom & he's taking in plenty of fluids, you would be fine to give it a few days & see if it gets better. If not, you can take him in later in the week to get it checked out.

 

I have had diarrhea & teething with all four of mine. And usually some horrible diaper rash (bleeding) as well. No good.
