Well too top off today i think DD isnt well..

Today i took her to my MiL house before i had to go to my appt and noticed she kept spewing, not very common for amali at all..
Then i noticed she wasnt really drinking and that she was spewing more then she was drinking. and she has a little bit of gastric also, so i kept an eye on her and she was very whingy all day today not sleeping much and then becoming very unsettled.
I kept offering her milk but all up all day she has probaby drank 400 mLs and mind you she has chucked all day
Ds had chicken pox last week, dont know if it could be related?
I put her to sleep and offered her some water just so she is staying hyrdrated but im worried.
She also hasnt had her 6 week needles due to being exposed to chicken pox and needs to be clear 2 weeks before her needle, and was meant to get done on tuesday next week but then Ds got them..
What do you think? i am soo worried about her now..
aaarrggghhhh one thing after another lol!!!

unfort it can be related to being exposed to the chicken pox.. as you know a person can be generally unwell before the spots show.

I would just keep offering her her milk/fluid and make sure her urine output doesnt dry out..does she have a temp? Is she larthargic?

Maybe a trip to the dr in the morning

oh beatrix thats my worse fear!! stupid chicken pox!!!

she hasnt had a temp ive kept checking all day, the thing worrying me to is no immunisation!!
she isnt so much lathargic i put it down to not sleeping all day.

im definently going tomorrow if she is still like this at midday, thats when my family dr starts..

If it were me, I'd be going to the Dr JIC, she's still so young.

Hope she is better soon xx

Are her nappies still wet hun, or are they dry when you go to change her?

I'm not too sure whether it's a gastro thing or something else....are the spews projectiles or just upchucks?

If her nappies are dry, I would take her to a gp or ED as (as I'm sure you know) dry nappies means dehydtration...if the are becoming less and less wet, but still wet I'd head to the gp and just get her checked over.

Does she have a temp at all?

I know I probably am not helping at all, but my overall suggestion is, if you are worried (and clearly you are and I don't blame you), go see a Dr...let them think you're a crazy woman if they want, she is YOUR child, and you are worried about her....

I really do hope that its not the chicken pox!!

can i ask if your BF and have you had the pox? Cause im not sure but i think she may get some of your immunity still (please dont quote me on that though)

***Sparklez*** · January 20th, 2011, 09:51 PM

im hoping its not ive never seen a baby at that age have them but ive heard it can reap havoc on them...

i b/f sometimes not all the time its mainly just to keep her bowel movements regular and ive heard that too about the immunity side of things..

**BabyWrangler** · January 20th, 2011, 09:53 PM

Beatrix is right, if you've had them, she will have had some of your immunity, even if she's not full time BF...so thats a good thing

I really hope its not cp too....

I'd get her checked out just in case!
