Vomit Everywhere :(

[Babieseverywhere]

Just found 2.6 year old DD asleep in bed coated in vomit. All over her face, hair, pillow etc. Poor baby.

I had just popped up to check on her, I knew she felt unwell and she had asked to go to bed early.

Is there anything I can do to make sure she is safe if she throws up again when we are asleep.

I'll put her in our bed, hopefully I'll wake up if she vomits again. Or should I tip up her mattress at the head end and keep her in her own bed ? She is on the sofa downstairs at the moment.

I would keep her downstairs til you go to bed, I too would have her in with me then

Cover her pillow with an old soft towel

have spare towels to hand by the bedside

awww

We are in this mode too,my dd is 2y and 10m and was sick all over herself the other morning and is still unwell ( as I have posted on another thread.)we co-sleep anyway,but I have towells on the floor and bowls near the bed,she is wearing two pairs of pants and sleeping on a thick cotton blanket (coming out of both ends uggggh).I hope your DD is better soon.

Yes, keep her with you.

Bath towels check, our bed check. Sick bowl.

She is being so brave, I just felt so bad that she had thrown up and I had not known straight away.

hellymelly, hope your DD feels better soon.

My son was vomiting today. We took him to an out-of-hours doctor who recommended rehydration solution taken through a syringe and a dose of children's paracetamol suspension. He said that feeding from a cup would cause vomiting. I don't think it's true that sugar kills bacteria - quite the opposite, given that scientists grow bacteria in sugar solution in petri dishes. But most stomach upsets are viral, so bacteria are not an issue. Good luck! Hope everyone gets well soon!
