Poor baby

Well, I just don't know what to think at this point.  Day care sent Rylee home on Monday for having 3 loose stools, and her bowel movements haven't really proved.  Yes, I know that may be TMI for some of you.

Truth be told her BMs have been less than normal since before Christmas.  I was thinking it might be our inconsistency with soy milk and formula or the juice that a teacher at day care mentioned.  Then she ran a little low-grade fever from Monday evening to Tuesday morning.  Now I'm wondering if she caught a bug.

She's also having a little runny nose and occasional cough.  I think she might be teething as she's really wanting to chew and us drooly.  Could that be the source of all her troubles?

She ate better at dinner than she has been, so I'm hoping that's a good sign.  Her mood and demeanor have also been pretty normal.  She's been a little clingier and more sensitive than usual, buy she's playful and happy.

If anybody has ideas for why or how to fix it, I'd love to hear them.  The web said for to the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, apples, and toast.  I thought two of those were for constipation, so.....  We went with potatoes.  ;)

I hate when my babies aren't well.  Have I mentioned this parenting thing is hard?
