After some help and advice, very worried!

[Kailani]

He is feeding okay I suppose, well I can't say he's refusing, but because he's been vomitting I'd assume it's all just coming up and he's not digesting it?? I will just keep offering him. Is it possible to overfeed and therefore make vomitting more likely?

Lulu, yeah I know I could be waiting for ages and then $180 short on top of that. I'm tempted to take him to emergency, I just don't know if it's urgent enough I know I know, better to be safe than sorry.

Also, stupid question...but do you think this is a satisfactory reason for DP to take work off tomorrow? He starts at 4am and he's the only one who can take me to the hospital if I need to go.

DS is also really cold, like his skin is cold He's sneezing a bit too.

Holly, definitely urgent enough. With a dehydrated lethargic baby who wasn't keeping fluids down, I'd go to the hospital now.
Hope the little guy is ok. xxxx

go to emerg dehydrated kids are very important to treat prompltly and locum will charge u a heap and maybe say go to emerg anyway

i second that! take him to the hospital!

Holly, I would take him to the hospital now...and yes this is a perfectly acceptable reason for your DH to have tomorrow off work.

Hospital - now. If you are over-reacting, so be it. But if he is really sick he is too little to wait. I would rather see 1000 little people with over anxious parents then not see them until something bad happens. There are limited reserves in babies so it is better to get them checked sooner.

Please take him now Holly - if he is dehydrated they can get him on a drip. Babies can go downhill very quickly so he is better off being at hospital than waiting for a locum.

[Schmickers]

If he's peripherally cool, then he is possibly becoming rapidly more dehydrated. I'd take him to be reviewed by your nearest ED now. He sounds like he is quite sick.

Hope he's ok *hugs*
