Baby on her third day of sleep?

[endcityspawner]

First time mum so forgive me if I’m being over dramatic!

Baby is 11 months old and on 23rd Dec was sick after her tea but we assumed food went down the wrong way as that’s how it sounded. 6am on Christmas Eve she woke up on her back bringing up bile I assume. She slept the whole of Christmas Eve, we didn’t see her for more than an hour and then all night again. Christmas Day was the same, she had to be woke and as soon as you do wake her she falls back to sleep. She’s difficult to wake and her eyes just roll back to sleep.

Last night (Christmas Day) she vomited again baring it mind it had been 38 hours since the last vomit and the time before that was 13 hours so I know it’s not noro etc.

After she was sick last night she went to bed and slept for 14 hours, again we had to wake her this morning. She drank 2oz of milk and fell asleep sat up and went back down for another 2.5 hours before we woke her for Calpol. She had Calpol, vomited and went back to sleep. She’s been asleep since. We can’t wake her, she opens her eyes for a split second before rolling them back to sleep.

She hasn’t eaten since the 23rd which I’m not overly concerned about because I know she won’t starve and will eat when she’s hungry. She also hasn’t had any milk bar the 2oz today which again, not overly concerned about as fluids is most important and she’s sipping water when we wake her for it.

I guess my main concern is the sleep? I know it’s a red flag when baby is difficult to wake and it’s not even as if she’s sleeping all day then up at night. She is literally sleeping all day and all night for now the third day straight. She’s been awake for no longer than an hour today.

Is it just a case of letting her keep sleeping and sleeping or does she need to be seen?

I’m reluctant that I’m just being an overly paranoid first time mum. Like I said food and milk isn’t my concern as she’ll eat when she’s ready it’s just the sleep.

I would have phoned 111 after the choking then sleeping so long, as there is obviously something wrong.

I’m not sure where you read ‘busy’ and what you are suggesting by that, however you seem to be triggered by my response so let me clarify. I made the point that asking medical questions to those that aren’t qualified is dangerous, visiting A & E twice does not make my point any less valid. Please read again in the essence it was intended and leave medical decisions to medical professionals who are trained to make them, not a forum who may have good intentions but may cause further concern or mislead. Stand by my concern that mumsnet should not publish posts asking for medical advice.

I understand your point but without this community I wouldn’t have felt confident enough to stand my ground properly and ask for a 2nd opinion. I’m thankful for everybody here!

Have you read about Martha's rule? I suggest you Google it as it's obvious that not all professionals/Doctors get it right all of the time and actually a relative's insight is really important.
This thread helped support @endcityspawner to ask for a second opinion instead of just blithely believing that her daughter would be fine.

She already googled it as per her previous post. She is in Wales and it is not currently in place in NHS wales

I am aware of Martha’s rule and think second opinions if not 3rd or 4th are very important especially in children, also parent’s instincts and concerns should not be questioned but my concern is time and time again people confidently offering out medical advice not based on facts or evidence. My post was not criticising OP she was at a loss and worried, my concern is with mumsnet and duty of care to prevent these posts and allow them to be handled professionally to ensure the safety of the individual, hopefully you can see the other side of how this could be dangerous. I don’t really know if there is much more to say on the matter.

apologies - just realised your post was not aimed at OP who has already stated she is in wales.

@Memyselfmilly that's ok. That fact that she is in Wales is irrelevant to my post, Martha's rule shows that doctors aren't infallible and pompous posters telling her they are lead to more problems than posters saying listen to your gut as you know your baby!

Totally agree. Really glad I know about Martha’s law but to be honest haven’t heard about it much and feel it would be great for it to have more visibility.
