    I would think that the vomiting has caused a little irritation up her throat (because of the bile in the stomach), If your worried get her checked out hun, you know best xoxox

    If nappies still ok I would wait a bit and see if vomiting stops BUT if you are all worried get her checked and also bare in mind later in day it gets harder it is to see a Dr unless you present to emerg.

    Hope all of you are well soon xoxo

    I was under the impression that you should take a very young baby to the dr if they seem ill.
    I agree about the wet nappies and feeding being ok, but to me four weeks is very young if they are vomitting because of a bug.

    Mind you, I'm more inclined than not to take my kids to see a dr ... a few times I thought they were ok but they had ear/chest infections and needed anti-biotics, and similarly when they didn't seem well it was nothing more than a "post-nasal drip" that time would heal.

    Use your instinct - if you "think" you should take her, then take her. Your peace of mind is just as important.
    Hope J is better soon.
