    Can teething cause vomiting?

    Just at a loss as to why DS is doing huge projectile vomits.
    He is teething quite slowly but defo some action ATM as he has teething rash from constant pooping.
    I'm not sure is I should worry about the spewing, he seems perfectly healthy otherwise.

    I don't know that it is, no. You could call health direct. Any illness going around? Perhaps it's a tummy bug as wwell as teething.

    Does he have a temp as well and are you giving any panadol? We cant give DD panadol as it makes her throw up, could that be happening?

    No he seems perfectly happy and healthy. My other thought is perhaps we are over feeding him. He has dinner at 5 and a bottle at 6 before bed then sometimes throws it's all back up. Maybe too close together but he doesn't last much longer than 6 for bed as he is too tired.
    He is quite a spewy baby, he camando crawls and always has pressure on his wee belly

    My DS2 was a spewy bub and also a complete nightmare whenever he was teething but i don't think the actual teething caused him to vomit, it was more the panadol i tried to give him. In the end i figured out it was the taste of the baby panadol so i ended up buying him the older age group panadol in the orange flavour and they have the doses on the side of the packet anyway for the weight.

    Sometimes kids will vomit when they are swallowing extra saliva. You commonly see it with a cold, when they vomit due to swallowing lotsa muck. I wonder whether if he is teething he is drooling lots more and possibly swallowing more than his little belly can handle

    Thanks guys. He has just done it again
    Is it possible to have delayed reflux? I'm wondering if I should try a different formula or thicken it?
    I wish he had of kept BFing everything was so much easier!

    Maybe try no bottle or less and see how he goes? How old is he? I wouldn't thicken it if you're not sure what's going on - might be a good reason why he's bringing it up

    Jak my friends dd projectile vomitted for a day or 2 every time she got a new tooth. DRs and MCHN told her she was nuts and no way teething caused it but she is confident it was from swallowing all that drool. She was otherwise totally fine before and after.
