Sounds like she has a bug to me unless she's been outside a lot today without a hat?

Good hand hygiene OP, plenty of fluids for DD and I hope it passes soon Flowers

Bugs are flying around at the moment, I’d keep your LO off

Yes sounds like a bug. It’s awful waiting to see if everyone gets it. Is baby/1yo breastfed? As that seems to give miraculous protection against vomity bugs. Wash your hands a lot, try to keep wee ones away from 4yr old, keep cleaning.

Nope 10 week old is on bottles and 1 year old isn't Breast feed I have I keep cleaning my hands and not touching them with out cleaning and the one year old was sharing my 4 year olds ice pop earlier today 😭🤦‍♀️ so I feel like she will have it she caught the bug of her big sister when she was about 10 months old 😭

Also about do you think it's best to keep my 4 year old in her own room on her own I just get real bad anxiety about leaving her when she's sick x

Some vomiting bugs can take a while to affect kids. Or she might have picked up something at home over the weekend?
It's a 48hr stay at home after diarrhoea or vomiting for kids.
Breastfeeding would be a great protection for the baby, but regardless, extra handwashing by everyone and an extra wipe round with disinfectant will be the way forward.
Hope it clears soon OP, and that no one else in the household gets it.

No I’d have her on a mattress in my room, or in your bed with towels etc. They do need to be nearby in the night as they don’t always wake or give warning they are about to vomit. I didn’t think about that when I said try to keep the younger ones away! Maybe leave a window open for ventilation but you may not be able to do much else. My sympathies, I can imagine your anxiety about this.

I've always had them in bed with me if they were poorly like this. Always woke before they vomited.
