I can see he s got a runny tummy and he s stomach is also making noices. He s not eating and drinking as spontaneously as before, but is also not showing that he is feeling ill. He is busy teething and at first I thought that that is the explantion for abovementioned, but there is a tummy bug doing the rounds and I can only get to a docter tommorrow. Please advise. Regards Adel
