7 month old DS hasn't been well all day. His behaviour has been just as contented and interactive - i.e hasn't looked 'under the weather' - but he threw up a large amount of his first milk feed. Then he soaked through his nappy with liquid poo - completely explosive. He continued to have a tiny little bit of diarrhoea here and there throughout the morning; lots of nappy changes!
I gave him plain yoghurt with a little fruit puree for breakfast and he kept that down. Another two milk feeds stayed down. We went into town and no problems - I thought he was feeling better.
He filled another nappy but not as liquid-y as earlier. Standard explosive poo...thought he was probably okay but would take him to the doctor in the morning (you have to book at 8am on the day).
I gave him an Ella's Kitchen banana yoghurt with brown rice for lunch, thinking it would be more gentle on his stomach. Later, he threw it all up.
I've tried to offer him boiled, cooled water continually but he only had a small amount, thinking it would be milk - once he realised it wasn't, not interested.
I had to meet a friend for an hour at 6pm so DP gave him his last milk feed. He called me up panicking because DS had thrown it all up and was distressed. I come home and DS is asleep in bed.
Do you think he'll be okay if I wait to make a doctor's appointment in the morning or could this be a Very Serious Thing (dehydration?) and I need to wake him up and take him to A+E. I'm an inexperienced first-time mother so not sure if I'm being blase or alarmist?
