My son gets diarrhoea sometimes when hes teething. Unless its really bad and your child is dehydrated that you should take them to the doctor. a bit of watery poo is okay :)

the best thing i have found for teething is the 'Baltic amber bead teething necklace'. I swear by it!
It stopped his eczema, rash on his cheeks, fever and diarrhea during teething!!! I strongly recommend you to try it. You can find it at any health store. its definitely worth the money.

Another thng i found usfull during teething is a powder called 'Curash' its a power with zinc oxide and cornstarch. with runny poos during teething my baby sometimes gets nappy rash. using Curash during each nappy change prevents and cures it. Thats another thing i swear by! hehe

Every mother needs to have the amber teething necklace and Curash baby powder. its magic!

Good luck.

I agree with Lydia. If you think it is just teething then you might want to try some panadol (thats in australia) if your bub has a temp or is unsettled but if your worried about it then i would go and get it checked out. Its probably nothing but if your going to be stressed its best to take then. I have gone many times with my daughter. Every tooth she cuts she gets diarrhoea and ear infections so with mine its better to take her so i can start her on medication so the ear infection doesn't get really painful. Hope this helps.

I think this one is a judgement call - how severe is the diarrhoea? If you are concerned about it then its better to take them to the doctor - even if they just say dont worry it'll pass - for the peace of mind.
I've not done it but Im sure you wouldnt be the first or last last who does if you choose to go :)
