I posted on here on Sunday night bec my DD had a high temperature, she was fine by Monday evening, but last night she vomited all night, couldn't keep anything down. This morning she was perky, kept down some melba toast, some water and some breastmilk but had a runny nose and sneezing.
This afternoon I feed her again (Bmilk) and she vomits again, and has vomited everything I've given her since (water & b-milk).

What could it be and are they all related? She seems in good spirits until she clearly has the urge to be sick, she vomits then she's happy again
Not many wet nappies today but doesn't seem dehydrated (she is 1)

Weirdy virusy thing, if you ask me.

Poor wee thing.

:( Poor thing. Sounds like a nasty cold. All that drainage can cause sickness. I would be inclined to give her a decongestant, but I know that we can't do that anymore because of changes in ages of meds. Hope she feels better soon.

thank you. poor thing just woke up & was crying wanting a feed - tried to limit what she took but she just got really upset - hope it stays down this time Sad

Oh poor girl. When DS had avomitting bug all he could keep down for 3 days was bm. Even water came back up. Hopefully she's feeling better this morning but if she's still having problems keeping things down try just giving her water/bm a teaspoon at a time every few mins to make sure she stays hydrated. If she is bf chances are enough will stay down to stop her dehydrating but just in case you think it isn't it's good to have a backup.

thanks for the advice bubbleymummy. she kept one feed down in the night, fed her again when she woke up but she vomited it all up Sad, but fed her again about an hour ago and so far so good it's stayed down. will do the teaspoon of water too just to make sure
