Marlow has had, diarrhea I guess you would call it, for about five days now. Every single time you change her diaper she has pooped, but it's soaked into the diaper like urine. And we must change her diaper twice as often right now.
She is still drinking normally, she eats normal, she has no fever, no anything. She may be teething, but she isn't showing the usual signs....the runs has never been a sign for her before!
When do you worry about it? She has a doctors appointment June.2nd. Should I let it go until then, and if it's still happening bring it up at the appt, or should I be worried already?

5 consistent days is likely a sign of some sign of tummy or intestinal bug. SHe may be hydrated, but won't stay that way for long if the food is RUNNING through her. I would at least call the ped and see if they can give you anything. Also - give her a high carb diet for a few days to try and thicken things up and AVOID SUGAR as it makes the intestines absorb more water.
Apparently, sometimes, intestinal bugs work their way out in 24 hours, but by then your intestines are so irritated that the diarrhea HANGS OUT for a bit and it becomes a vicious cycle. not DANGEROUS but for 5 days -- I would call at the least.
