My almost 5 month old RS has been throwing up every feed since midday I called 13health and they said to see Gp who said it was Gastro. He said to give him hydrolyte which I hate the idea of as he's only ever had bm. Dh has gone to the chemist now though. My poor little man cries for a bit before vomiting and the. Sobs during and afterwards. He's sad but I can comfort him so he's not distressed. I'm just confused because the Gp said to take him to hospital if he vomits again but then said just to keep an eye on him and take him to hospy if he gets dehydrated.
He fell asleep feeding before so I've put him down (on towels) and hoping his little body gets better soon.
Check his fontenelle (spelling sorry) gap in the head If its obviously sunken and the vomiting continues take him to be checked out at the hospital, its amazing how quickly fluids can make them look and feel better and just for your sake to get some peace of mind.
Breast milk will be fine he won't need hydrolyte at his age! If he continues to not keep BM down though I'd take him to get checked out he may need IV fluids if he can't keep anything down. But BM is perfect for him, offer feeds frequently. it's not nice when your LO is sick.
Gastro baby
