    Eight days is too long for your child to have this problem. If he is not dehydrated now he will be soon and then it will be too late. I am surprised the doctor didn't offer you guidelines on how to deal with this over a period in order to get him back to normal quickly.

    Here is a website offering good information and suggestions on how to deal with this problem in your baby. If he becomes lethargic then I would advise taking him to the ER as soon as possible.
