At what stage should I be really concerned?
Eimear just brought up 180mls all over me (at least she didn't get the carpet!) Her temp is ok but she did get sick last night and woke up with a runny poo. She took 10mls and then some water. I put her back to bed as we had a busy morning and figured the sleep would do her good. She had a good feed at 6am this morning and had a baby rice & formula for breakfast as well. If she won't take a bottle when she wakes up then I'll ring Plunketline. Aoife just finished a fussy few days with reduced appetite and a couple of runny poos (1 a day) She's got 2 obvious teeth about to pop through though. |

I was told to be concerned if they start to go vacant and lethargic. Spencer stopped drinking altogether and the doc gave us some paedialyte to syringe into him and said that even if we had to do that every 20 mins with him throwing it back up it was better than nothing. Also you can test to see if she is dehydrated by pinching the skin on the tummy and seeing how long it takes to spring back, it should go back really quick if she ok. (same test as what the do on the back of the hand for adults)
You can just buy paedialyte over the counter, its pretty cheap, about $12. If concerned though better to get it checked out as things can go downhill quickly when they are so little. -------------

What formula are you using? We are using Heinz Nurture Gold 1 and just opend a new tine yesterday. Sophie has projectile vomited both her 7am and 11am bottle at me. She is VERY cheerful and smiley and then the whole lot (plus some solids she was having) came back at me  .
Sorry to thread-jack but I am curious as I have heard a lot of chat about a change to one of the heinz formulas in another thread and the big problem people are having. I think that is the follow on though. -------------

We're using S-26 Soy Formula. Were using Nutricia(?) Soy one until last week.
Well she took 100mls over an hour but her temperature has gone up. I've been on the phone to Plunketline and have given her Pamol. They said just to monitor for another bit and as long as she's hydrated then she's ok for now. She just had a 45min nap and is now happy in her cot. Aoife has a runny nappy too just now so hmmmm. Once DH is home in a couple of hours we'll re evaluate. I'm happy with them here but if need be off to after hours we go. |

Tishy - hope you guys have an OK night - is is horrible when they are not well. Teething can be terrible - some babies sail though without noticing and others suffer for every tooth. And to have two of them doing it together would be tough.  -------------

I'm just thankful she got it on me and not the carpet 
She drank about 200mls at 4:30. We think both girls may have a small bit of a tummy bug, We're going to see how tonight goes and head to the doctor tomorrow if it continues. ETA: They were very spilly for the first few months until I went dairy free. I  our leather couches

Hugs Tishy (and Aoife and Eimear!) Hope the girls continue to get better, tummy bugs are nasty.
All three of my big girls have been hospitalised with gastro at one time or another and the first thing they do there is syringe fluids (water or pedialyte) into them at a rate of 5ml per minute, so now if they are sick and I think they are getting dehydrated I always try that first - I'd much rather do it at home than in hospital! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Last night was fine, they slept straight through as normal.
Aoife had a big runny nappy this morning and has had 2 since. Eimear has had 1 big runny nappy and 2 smaller ones as well. They drank/ate as normal this morning and just now Aoife vomited after 60mls and up came her solid breakfast as well which they got at 9am. Eimear refused her bottle after 20mls and won't take any water either. I'm not happy with the heaviness of the nappies either. *sigh* Off to ring Plunketline again. DH is teaching a diving course this weekend so I'm on my owneo. When Aoife was vomiting all over me I'm sure we were thinking the same thing. " I want my Mammy" At least it was true for her! LOL! It's times like this I wish I wasn't on the other side of the world. At least these times are only 1% of the time. haha!!
Overall they're in ok form, Aoife is a bit grouchy but Eimear has improved from yesterday. Ok now that Aoife has had time to recover from her upheaval I'll try them with bottles again. Oh Maya, what's hte story with Nannies and sick babies? Mine started on Thursday and is due to come again tomorrow.

Hugs, vomit is so much easier to cope with BEFORE they start solids
I guess it's up to your nanny, mine still comes even when the girls are sick, in fact when they both spent a week in Starship with rotavirus she came up during the day to help me out up there. Just as well she does come when they're sick lol given that they are always sick with one thing or another! Hope the vomitting settles and you don't have to make a hospital dash without DH ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
