Hi wondered if anyone has any experience of this?
Went out today and left DS with a sitter (very experienced nanny who I know and has kids of her own). He was absolutely fine followed usual routine woke up from his lunchtime nap after 1.5hrs and sitter brought him downstairs. She said after about 15 mins of playing he started getting a bit fussy and looked as if he was straining to have a poo. She picked him up and rubbed his back holding him over her shoulder. At this point we arrived back and she handed him back to me and we both saw straightaway there was something wrong, he was extremely pale, blue around the mouth and looked v sleepy even though he had just woken up. He was very floppy in my arms and his forehead was cold and clammy. I sat down with him and tried to rouse him but he was basically unresponsive although his eyes were open. I called my husband to call 999 and then the sitter and I wrapped him in a blanket and talked and chatted/sang/showed him toys to keep him awake. After about 2 mins he started to come around and look at us then smile. By the time the paramedics arrived he was sitting up and after about 30 mins completely normal behaviour and colour etc.
He was taken to hospital where all vitals were normal, blood sugar etc. Full blood work-up was normal and full body x-ray all normal. Doc suggested that his reflux may have caused his windpipe to close over and his blood pressure to drop causing him to effectively faint. I was prepared to accept this but now after having googled I can't find much info about this. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar and what explanations they were given. Feel very nervous about leaving him again even though I am certain it was not the sitter's fault.
Any ideas?
