Have I given dd something too rich - major vomit incident yesterday......

[meep]

dd is 6.5mo. She's loved her food since we started weaning at the beginning of January .... until yesterday.

For lunch at 11am she had avocado mashed with cream cheese - as usual she wolfed it down. However half way through her 3pm bottle she started to look uncomfortable and vomited the whole lot up.

She took a bit of food at tea - then again got very upset and vommed it all up (she looked very shocked the poor wee thing!)

I gave her water this morning but she was so hungry so I gave her a bottle and she seemed okay.

She has spent the day just girning and occasionaly doubling over as if in pain - no full out tears but little cries/moans

Do you think that avocado and cream cheese was too much too fast?

I am just offering water or milk today - and she wants to eat but then looks in pain again.

She had one sloppy poo yesterday but the rest have been fine though a bit stinkier than normal (sorry tmi!)
Any wise words>

Sounds like a tummy bug rather than too rich food to me.

Although, my kids never did get on with avocado. Too sticky. But does sound like a tummy bug.

Sounds like a bug. Esp if still in pain today. Keep her off any solids today, maybe start with a bit a dry toast to suck on when you think she is ready, or a bit of stewed apple.

Milk can irritate a sore tummy so don't be surprised if she honks a feed or two back up!

just tried some wettabix - she was ravenous but then it started to hurt so we stopped.
no vomit though
do you think i should keep her off nursery tomorrow?

just souds like a bug tbh
hopw she feels better soon, poor wee thing

Can't you try stuff like mash, bread and apple with no milk? This is what I did when dd had vommong bug.

NHS direct advice was to keep giving milk.....

she's just eaten some sweet potato and is happily playing with her bowl and spoon - and shrieking in delight! It is lovely to have her back to her happy wee self. Thanks for your help everyone
(but alas I will have to go to work tomorrow!)

Not if it's a tummy bug - your nursery will have an exclusion policy of 48-72 hours off after the last episode of vomiting/diahorrea (sp) sorry

ooooooooo - just checked the policy - 24 hours at mine - been well over 24 hours unfortunately! And it is only my second week back at work and I don't think they'd be too happy with me if I was off so soon.
