Is Bfing stopping me recovering from gastroenteritis?

That's it really. Had the most hideous bug since Thursday and the fucker will not shift. I've had hours of incredibly painful cramping, vomiting and feeling like I want to die.

I have been feeding 19 week old DS2 through it all somehow. Is my body prioritising milk production over getting better? Truly, I can't take much more

No, I don't think so. DH and I both had a vomiting bug when DS was ?6 months old. I remember it was awful but it did get better. In the meantime, as you would with any tummy bug, are you managing to drink enough? Hope it gets better soon.

Thanks Bartlet. Yes I'm keeping up the fluids but I basically can't eat anything and haven't since Thursday bar the odd bit of dry toast. Do you mind me asking how long yours hung around? I am so desperate for thus to end. Luckily DH is home as we had lots of nice stuff planned for half term :(

Not that long to be honest, 24-48 hours, but we both had it at the same time. Thankfully a friend braved our plague-ridden house for a few hours to play with DS while we both slept upstairs.

DS did have a bug a few months ago though and he was throwing up for 5 days, so you are on Day 5 now?

Day 6. Got a GP appt later.

Good plan.
