We've had 2 attempts now to give her a bottle and she gets almost to the end and up they come..
Shes hungry but can't keep them down. Should we be concerned?
I said to DP if she does it with every bottle tonight we'll take her to the doctors first thing in the morning. She has been really cranky today, didn't sleep very much so i hope she hasnt got a tummy bug.
Are you sure its that shes hungry? Is she having it more as a comfort thing and her tummy is full already? Has she still been having wet nappies or have a temp?
Maybe try syringing a little bit at time. If it's a tummy bug all you can do is try and keep fluids up to her. Just try little bits at a time.
Her last bottle was at 5:30. So she is hungry. We just gave her a bath which she slept through but then became really upset when we got her dressed so i made her a bottle. I almost got through it and up it came so we changed her, i got changed and i made another. The same thing happened again. She's having regular wet nappies, iv checked her temp numerous times and all read about 36.5 so normal.
The only thing thats different about her is shes been really cranky and didnt sleep very much today. She had 2 bottles earlier today which she took fine no puking at all.
Just keep an eye on her. Make sure she has wet nappies, try giving her small amouts at a time. After she has had a little bit give her a break so she can process that then try a little bit more.
honey have u tried burping her? stop halfway and burp her she might just be windy or if it does keep happening try seeing a doc to see if she has reflux HTH
SIL and her lot recently had a bug so she could have caught something. And we think she may have reflux because she has been a bit spewy and iv noticed she pukes and swallows it again.
And i always stop half way and give her a burp and a bit of a break.
i dunno this one was just different and there was a lot of puke it covered the whole front of her and was all over the front of me.
But i will continue to offer her bottles to keep her fluids up.
I found if mine chucked like that when really young, they didn't need the 2nd one (But it took me a while to learn that though ) It was an overful reaction.. But I would suggest cutting back the amount, and see how she goes. Are you demand feeding, or feeding by the clock, or a mixture of the 2?
:yeahthat: i agree with little bits at a time, some babies do just tend to spew a bit though.
DD1 was a very spewy baby but she was a happy spewer... if you think something isn't quite right then it doesn't hurt to get her checked but bubs are constantly changing, she might spew for 3 days then be normal then 2 weeks later be spewy again.
How often is she feeding, more than normal? if so then i totally agree maybe it's a comfort thing, does she take a dummy?
She feeds every 3-4 hours during the day but at night its about 2-3 hours. She has a dummy which she only takes half the time, the other half you stick it in her mouth and she gags on it or pulls a face of disgust lol.
I might reduce her bottles down to 60mls again for a few days.
Although it would have looked like she threw up the entire bottle it's unlikely that she did. Was it smelly like it had been digested already or just plain milk?
My guess is that the second bottle was thrown up because she was over full. The first may have been something else. Has she been around anyway that has a bug? Is it possible she has reflux?
