Hi
My DS (5 mo) is normally an excellent feeder (bf) who is not a sicky baby and is usually easy to wind.
He came down with a vomiting bug last Friday and couldn't keep anything down, including water, for 2 days, and I ended up having to take him to hospital for dehydration risk (I came down with it too and it was awful).
He is now a lot chirpier and keeping the majority of his feeds down, feeding for a long time sometimes, presumably to get his intake up.
Like most babies, he likes a big feed before bed to take him through, and often falls asleep straight after this feed. For the past 3 nights he has woken retching at 5am, throwing up in his cot, resulting in two frazzled parents having to change sheets and one wide-awake baby who wants to feed and then play!
I realise to some extent I have to ride this out and hope his tummy gets stronger in time but does anyone have any tips/advice/experience? I am shattered after a week of so much sick (from both of us) and lack of sleep, but reluctant to limit ds's time on breast.
Thanks for anything anyone has to offer.
