The Wife's diary

my name is Novita, born in 1983, I am Indonesian who is currently residing in Singapore. I have a loving dedicated husband and an adorable sweet little boy who's turning into two years old next March. Mostly my posts are about my experience as a wife and a mother. I am not an expert but I wish to be a blessing for someone out there who might have the same experience with me, someone who is doing research about raising her kid, or just simply to have fun reading my stories.

antibiotics

remember caleb's ear infection?
the doctor gave him antibiotics and for about 2 weeks he had been having a more frequent bowel movement. he could pass motion 2x/day..right after his milk.
I was a bit worried if this considered diarrhea.
the thing is..the day he started on antibiotics was the same day he started on solids.
But strange..because I only started with rice cereal which should not cause any allergy.
I did some research on the internet and I found out that antibiotics did cause diarrhea and the side effect will continue even after the antibiotics are stopped. the effect could go on for 2-3 weeks.

I remember after my c-sect, I took antibiotics..and I did have a very watery motion for 3 weeks.

well..I'm glad it is not caused by the solids.
