My beautiful little 5 month old man has just started vomiting. He has vomited up his last two feeds, and is now just dozing and listless. I have never had a bub so little with gastro before, so I am not sure what to do? I guess just let him rest, but should I try and offer the breast at all? He took it eagerly just before, but was vomiting again within about a minute of latching on. He now just keeps dry reaching, and has nothing left to vomit up.
I am supposed to work for 4 hours tonight, and I am not sure what to do now. On one hand he is likely to sleep most of the time, but I think I might need to be here, because I don't know how he would go with the ebm?
Any suggestions?
(I am not sure if it is gastro, he had a virus late last week with high temps, and very bad conjunctivitus which has cleared with ab ointment).
I think you are right. I wouldn't be able to concentrate anyways. I hate seeing them so sick.
I guess i will just keep offering the breast when he wakes up and see how he goes.
I have made a little bed for him on the lounge room floor, and he is as snug as a bug in a rug, so I can keep watch on him.
