1st time mummy needs some quick advice

[wakeywakey]

ok so my 7m dd has a bit of a cold and temp.tried to give a little baby nurofen and when a little went down she projectile vomited.there was a lot of sick!she is now asleep in bed and i dont know what to do when she wakes.do i feed her milk and give water too?? do i keep her off the solids until shes better and do you still give a baby with a cold a bath? thanks

What milk does she have?

formula

wouldn't give any more milk until temp comes down and she seems better - just give water if she'll have it. Dd2 has been like this last 2 days (altho she's older - 18m) but she had a temp, threw up her milk, etc. I had her in bed with me in the end, just in her nappy and half out of the duvet. She kept waking up and guzzling loads of water out of a bottle and she slept loads, but it was obvious she found it easier to sleep on me so I let her rather than go back to her cot. Can your dd breathe ok? sometimes a warm bath can actually help a cold and it can calm them down a bit as well.

Agree with Moomin. Is important that she keeps up her fluids, even if she keeps being sick, she will absorb enough.

Hope she feels better soon

thanks very much for the reply,yep she can breathe ok, doesnt seem to have a bunged up nose just v runny at the mo.um about the solids do i stop those until she is better too? many thanks

aw thanks alot x

i wouldnt giver her anything solid until tomorrow lunch time at the earliest... tea time if she can make it

And when she does have something solid, make it non-dairy - start with dry toast or similar to begin with. Keep away from cereal with milk, yoghurt anything like that. Keep food bland, dry and non-controversial!
