DD vomited yesterday, but it was after bumping her head so I assumed it was a bit of shock. She was fine overnight and fine this morning but had horrific rancid wind all day, so much so that I kept checking her nappy. In the afternoon she did a vile poo, it was very pale and sloppy and smell disgusting. She carried on with the horrible wind til doing another poo after tea, slightly more watery but still the same colour. Her belly looks a tiny bit swollen and she hasn't eaten much today. She often doesn't though. Any ideas? TIA

Was she seen by a doctor after her bump? If she did bump her head and you have cause to believe that she vomited as a result then she should really be seen as she might have concussion.

However, given that she has had runny nappies I would think it is a bug.

Yes I took her to the walk in and the doctor there said she was fine, just had to observe for 24 hours. I thought it might not be a bug as she's only been twice. I thought a bug would be worse.

I don't want to sound depressing but it isn't necessarily over. My two often had upset tummies for a week at the nappy wearing age - 2 or 3 horrible nappies every day and off their food. Every time they did eat they did a poo.

Maybe it is a mild one or maybe it was something she ate that didn't agree with her.

I hope she is better soon.
