Hi, I've just found a tiny bit of blood in DD's vomit, she's got reflux and is 9 weeks old, I've got a docs appt in an hour, has anyone else had this and should I insist on seeing a paediatrician?

I've just done an internet search and it can be a symptom of reflux, I'll ask about paediatrician. THanks

I had this, turned out that Nanny had fed the baby chocolate and it was that, not blood [hmmm]. Nearly cancelled our holiday as I thought it was sinister. Cd be a small cut in baby's mouth? That's what our GP suggested before the whole Nany gave the baby chocolate and told me not to tell you thing.

Oh my god!!! Well we haven't got a nanny so its not that Hope u fired her!

Just been to docs and apparently its normal for reflux and we have to persevere with the gaviscon for a few more weeks before try something else. Thanks anyway!

Haha. Is dh's mother. I hate calling her Nanny in my snobby pretentious manner, but she does prefer it. We had grannies when I was growing up...Wd Love to fire her! Glad all seems ok - I remember how sick it makes you feel.
