Jess we had some dud advice from the healthcare line and my plunket nurse said to always call the Plunket line up to midnight. It is a different service. Just can't find the number at the so I'm not being that helpful really, sorry

I always doubt my Mummy instinct because a couple of times people have commented on bubs feeling hot and I've said no, no they're fine, and it turned out they had a huge fever!
Now I always want to rush off to the doc at the first sign of illness.
I've found with the after hours places up here though, that if we take them in with 'normal viral symptoms' (irritable, fever under 38.5, not taking food or vomiting..) they will diagnose a virus and suggest all of the things you did with Ella, Jess, and tell us to come back if anything changes.
I still insist on taking them though, because I am too scared of having missed something and it turning out to be something really bad.
Glad to hear Ella is on the mend now!

Well she had a scream at 5am this morning from a really sore tummy she was farting like a trooper so i pushed her knees to her tum and she did another massive explosion (i wont describe the sound effects haha) then she did another one 5 hours later. I read my wellbeing book and it said something like if they do 2 - 3 explosions within 24 hours to take them to the dr so we went this morning and he said she has a tummy virus and it should pass fairly soon. I was just worried about her getting dehydrated. I have given her a water bottle and she sucks on it a fair bit so i think shes ok there and plenty of wet nappies

As long as there are plenty of wet naps and her tongue and lips look wet then she should be adequately hydrated. You could always offer her some cool boiled water if you're worried - sometimes when they have a tummy bug it's easier for them to digest than formula or breast milk.
Pedialyte is good too if you can get them to take it. Maya refused it so stubbornly that at one point we were syringing it into her mouth and when that didn't work she ended up with a NG feeding tube
