My daughter is 6 months old.
First off, she slept in til noon today which is pretty unusual. She went to bed at 9 or 9:30 last night, which is her normal bedtime. Usually she wakes up at 8 or 9 am.
When I went in to get her this morning, she didn’t even want to get up in the first place. I left her alone for about 20 minutes and then went back in and got her up. She acted completely fine until-
I gave her her normal 6 ounce bottle that she has first thing everyday.
As soon as she drank the last drop, she vomited everywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the entire 6 ounces. So then I gave her some rice cereal like I always do in the mornings. Then she took an hour and a half long nap, which surprised me since she had slept in so late.
So I went and woke her up again later,fed her some jarred carrots, and then she pukes all over herself again. Not near as much this time, but still, it worries me. She’s never been a big spit-up type baby. Has been on the same formula ever since she was a month old…
So then I go and get her some apple juice because I figure she must be getting pretty dehydrated from getting sick two times already. Usually she LOVES apple juice, but really didn’t care for it today.
What I don’t understand is, she’s been acting like herself all day. Happy, laughing at everything, playing with her toys as usual. But she’s been excessively tired and barfing up every other thing I feed her. AND NO FEVER WHATSOEVER!
Then she vomited all over herself in her car seat when me and the family were on our way to a restaurant. So I took her into the bathroom and cleaned her up and changed her clothes. Then 45 minutes later, while in the high chair, she vomits, what looks like a waterfall! she was gasping for air, there was so much vomit coming out. After that, she STILL acts as if nothing is bothering her! I don’t get it!
She has no fever, doesn’t feel cold at all. Hasn’t been fussy at all. Just can’t keep anything down. I’m trying to keep her hydrated with a little bit of water and apple juice here and there. What do you think??
I know it’s a little late to add this, but I did call her pediatrician and ask-a-nurse before posting this. They both told me as long as she didn’t have a temperature, that she should be ok and to just keep her hydrated. But, I just wanted to ask someone to see if anyone had this issue with their kiddo before. I appreciate all the people that were understanding and gave me advice. To those who completely bashed me, I’m a new mother and have been told by many many people that you don’t have to rush a baby to the ER just because they get sick. Turns out she was just having a bad reaction to her brand new tooth that just popped in the other day, which according to her pediatrician, is not at all unusual. She’s completely fine today, no vomiting or diarrhea, and seems to be feeling a lot better. You don’t have to be a paranoid psycho to be a good mother.
