Vomiting

Hi all, my DD (almost 5 months) has had a cold and cough but has coped happily and been getting better. Her cough is almost gone but still sounds a bit chesty when she does cough. She did a big phlegmy vomit a couple of days ago and today she has vomited quite a few times. I just went in to put a blanket on her and she was lying in a pool of vomit, like a massive pool, it took up about 1/3rd of her cot and her head was wet and so was her jumpsuit all the way to her bottom. We got her up and changed her and the bed clothes (first time ever to have to get her up at night for a full change of bedding) and despite being woken she was really happy. I gave her a BF and then went to burp her and she did a big power spew and threw it all back up. Still giggling and happy though. DH told me just to put her in the cot and we'll see what she does and we haven't heard peep from her, she does love her sleep though.

SO - should I be worried? I saw Shoshana's thread and someone commented that it is normal for babies to throw up when they are getting rid of a chesty cough. We just checked the sheet we took off and the spew is pretty thick like mucous.

I also took her temp and it was normal.

Sounds ok so far. It's scary when they chuck everywhere, but if temp is normal and baby is happy I'd say her little body is doing a great job of getting rid of the last of the germs!

Thanks Lulu.....I freaked out a bit seeing all the vomit everywhere but you are right, she was happy and normal temp so got to be okay. I just hope thats the last of it and she doesn't keep vomiting all night. I did have to giggle that she loves sleeping so much she does massive power spews and is lying in it and still snoring away happily.

*giggle - yeah!

Gotta love a power sleeper. xoxox

Yep! Totally agree with Lulu, if she's a happy baby, I'm sure she is fine She would let you know otherwise!
How awesome that she's such a great sleeper too! Jeallloouuuss! haha!

Hope she gets better soon x
