My poor baby :(

Iyla managed...just...to tolerate the antibiotics for 5 days. She was pretty miserable with horrible diarrhoea and a badly burnt bottom and was barely eating, but we were surviving. On the night of the 5th day she cried in her sleep all night long. She didn't actually wake up but she was so unsettled. The next morning i was changing her nappy when i saw that there were smears of blood all through the mucous in her poop. Also along with that there was a piece of corn in her nappy (not sure how she got that). I'm guessing the bit of corn just tipped her stomach over the edge and it wasn't coping with anything anymore. That whole day she pooped blood and was MISERABLE! It was awful. After loads of screaming late in the afternoon and evening we decided not to give her anymore antibiotics. Hopefully the 6 days she got have been enough to fully fight off her infection. The next day was also miserable. Her dietician suggested that she needs some gut rest so we are keeping her on formula mainly with only a few bites of foods during the day for now. She has been totally off her bottles though and it's been a real struggle to get her to drink. Last night at 9pm she amazingly drank 2 full bottles one after the other and then slept through the night so that was hugely incouraging!! Today there was no more blood but still runny mucous filled and HORRID smelling poo. I'm sure i'll never forget the stench of reaction poo! I'm hoping she is fully on the mend soon so that we can continue trialing foods and hopefully find some more for her.
