baby vomiting

[I Love Snow]

how long should i wait before taking the wee one to the doctors?

[warpig3]

How old is your baby? How long has he/she been vomiting? Is everything coming up? What is her/his mood?

[I Love Snow]

8 months. twice last night, once this morning, lost everything and she is sleepy ( and she isn't normally)

[warpig3]

I would ring the doctor now, more as a precaution than anything. Is she taking any water?

[I Love Snow]

not really interested in anything. rang the nhs 24 but i would have been better ringing the speaking clock for all the help i got.

She probably just has a little bug and will be right as rain in no time, give the doctors a call, you should get an appt today and hopefully that will put your mind at ease.

is baby drinking anything? eating at all? how wet are nappies?
the answer to these will often dictate how quickly you need to seek advice.
hope GP can offer some advice, there are a lot of bugs about

[I Love Snow]

nappy's aren't very wet and she isn't interested in much

Hi Snow, hows your LO? feeling better I hope. x

Hoping your baby is now well and back to herself again :)

For the sake of future reference though...babies dehydrate fast and I would not leave it longer than 48 hours regardless of whether it is a bug that will clear up. As always mums know their babies best so don't hesitate if you are worried.

If babies are not interested in drinking or will not drink try using a plastic baby medicine syringe (most chemists will give you one for free) placed inside and to the back of the mouth to gently drizzle the water down their throat. Dont worry about them choking as they will swallow out of instinct.
