I have a 15 day old who had an overnight hospital stay last week for poor feeding and weight loss,he has really improved since. However his toddler sister came home with a tummy bug Friday and today newborn ds has not fed since 8.30am. He vomited badly at 9am, again at 11.30 and has rejected all feeds no matter how much we tried. Syringe fed him at 6pm and he projectiled it all back up. He also has a temp of 35.3 and barely woken all day.

I don't know what to do :(

Thanks for the update OP. He's gorgeous! Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

SarcasmMode · 19/10/2016 21:01

Thank you for updating us!

So glad he's improving. My sisters little boy had cows milk allergy and just able to tolerate most foods with milk in now at 3 years- once you get the diagnosis you can work with it and set a goal.

He's a lovely little boy and I wish him a speedy recovery Flowers

Hello again Beth2511

Sorry to hear your DD's been suffering badly with her chest...nasty to see them in that state, when they're so little. Hope she's improving daily.

And SO heartwarming to read the latest update/ see another pic of your little chap doing brilliantly Smile ...should think such fighting spirit will serve him well through life.

Wishing you all a healthier, less nerve-wracking time Flowers

Groovee · 25/10/2016 07:16

Glad you got him there quickly. Hoping your dd is ok too x

Beth2511 · 01/11/2016 15:54
