whats the score with vomiting babies?

[HeadFairy]

Dd - 7 months old has been sick twice this morning
, proper big pukes, ds had the same thing last Thursday. With him I just gave him clear fluids for 24 hours and then very plain food for 24 hours. Do I do the same for dd? I presume I carry on bfing her as usual. Do I give her extra fluids or just breast milk?

I'd keep BF (might increase the frequency) and when she hasn't puked for a few hours would give her some dry toast. If that stays down, add in some more interesting food.

Thanks for that, I presume I shouldn't give her anything (even bm) while she's still being sick a lot. she's just been sick three times in an hour, its just bile comng up now.

Hm, not sure. Maybe I would try to give sips of water just because I'd be bothered about dehydration. Poor little thing, I hope she's better soon.

poor thing, I put her in her bouncy chair so I could get ds something to eat (the first thing he's eaten since Thursday - yay!) and she fell fast asleep. She's in her cot now, I'll try bfing her when she wakes up I think. If that comes back up then I'll leave her for a bit and try some water. Luckily it's not too warm today, so she won't get dehydrated too quickly.

diorlite?

would she need something like that already?

ok I've just tried to bf her and wasn't that keen, a few sucks and she started heaving and brought up some bile. How long should I leave it before I start to get worried?

id stick to just clear liquids. trouble is the curdling of milk.

i say diorlite because dd wasnt ill very long at all but ended up very dehydrated and with urine infection.. was in hosp on iv.

and i was topping her up already with water.

She's quite little and I think the advice I was once given was that if my DD brought up the whole of 3 feeds in a row I should speak to my GP. So maybe a call to NHS direct? I find them very responsive when it is anything to do with a baby under a year old.

I spoke to NHS direct and of course they told me to go to A&E (don't they always). Luckily our local hospital is only 5 mins away, and they are really quick when dealing with babies, so we were in and out in about 2 hours, and most of that was taken up with me giving dd 5mls of dioralyte every 5 mins. She's kept all that down, and a bit of breastmilk, so hopefully she's on the mend. Thanks for your help x

Hope dd feels better soon. x
