I'm still here, just been very busy lately. Just a question for our mums with older bubs..... Tara was up about 3am last night vomiting and also had a couple of bouts of diarrohea (sp??). She didn't have a temp and she wasn't upset or cranky about the vomit everywhere. After I stripped her down, gave her a wash and dressed her again she thought it might be a good time to have a play and she even had 1/2 a bottle at 5am this morning, which she never does but I think it might be because her tummy was empty. So anyway this morning, she was up bright and early and seems like nothing is wrong at all. She has had her morning bottle and is now back in bed catching up on the sleep she missed last night.
Any ideas what it might be??? Maybe just a bit of a tummy bug, or could it be teething?? The MCHN told me last Thursday that Tara has no sign of any teeth at this stage and she thinks she is a long way off getting them (I was 18mths before I got my first tooth)... but could she have been wrong..
Anyway off to get the washing out of the machine, had to wash al the spewy clothes and bed clothes from last night .
Hi Kelly, I guess I'd keep an eye on her and definately watch out for a fever or anything else untoward. Sometimes they just throw up or have the runs, and then seem fine, so hopefully it's nothing to worry about.
i probably wouldnt go out of my way to go to the beach - if you make a salt water mix at home, you'll know it's "clean" - at the beach, there is a risk that there may be some contamination. plus, you make up one lot, let it cool and cover it, and you can use it for days and days at home
Kelly, it sounds like a bug hun. keep an eye on Tara and if she is in any way different to her normal self (less energetic, more sooky, temp or spewy/runny nappies) pop off to the doctor to get her checked. i know she's only six months, and from memory i can't recall what point you're at with introducing other fluids, but i would suggest having some water available for her to sip at all day and keep an eye out for signs of dehydration (sunken fontanel is a key sign, dry mouth if she puts her finger in your mouth...). if she wants more drink today, do small amounts so as not to overload her little tummy - it will be rather sensitive and if it gets overloaded she will just sick it all up again.
hope she is doing much better through the day today
AFU - started back at work yesterday. no tears, no tanties - hell, i don't think she even noticed i was gone!! i guess that's the upside of gradually increasing the time we spent with my folks the past few months - spending a day with granma wasn't abnormal! work was as BORING as all get up - i missed the interaction with my girl - but i survived. they're not fully retraining me, which annoys me (not trying to brag, but i'm good at my job) - they're paying me good money to be a glorified receptionist. oh well, at least i'm still getting paid good money! E is in a fantastic mood today - she slept 12 hours last night with two feeds (dream feed when i went to bed, and another when Daddy got up for work) and is so chipper today. i was worried she'd be over tired after her day at Granmas, but she had a sleep for 20 mins yest morning, 2.5hours at lunch, and then 10 or 15mins in the car on the way home - so she obviously found a sleep pattern that worked - she's now on the other side of the foot stool from me, doing all she can to get at my drink - laughing, chatting, smiling - sooooooooo glad i'm not having to try and "sort" an overtired monkey today - i've got MY girl! woot!

oh yeh bg i didnt even think about the water being yukky so ive just made up a mixture like you said and covered it over so now i guess i just dip a cotton ball into it then clean her ears with that ?
and i very happy your day yesterday was ok hun and also glad your girl is chipper and happy today
So happy to hear that starting back at work wasn't too bad for you and E. Oh, I have been giving Tara water for a few weeks now, especially when she had her cold a couple of weeks ago to make sure she stays hydrated. I gave her some last night after she vomited to help get the horrible bile taste from her mouth and to also keep up her fluids seeing we had it coming out the other end as well. I keep a sippy cup near her at all times now as she is clever enough to pick it up and put in her mouth if she wants a drink.
I think I might also cut out solids for a couple of days as well and just stick to bottles and water to help her little tummy settle down as well. it's just a 24 hour bug thing. Come to think of it, I think it was from swimming on Monday as the instructor mentioned that some kid had an accident in the pool... O.K I'm angry now...
