Really worried about my 9 month old!!

So I've rang 111 twice now, I'm getting a call from someone today finally. He's fine in himself, is smiling, hasn't got a temp etc. Last night he just randomly threw up 3 times, have tried to give him bottles but he sicks them back up, have given him lots of water which he's managing to keep down, although he had a bottle last night at 10pm and managed to keep that down, he's had a diarrhoea this morning and partner tried to give him a bottle, which came straight back up again. I'm a ftm, extremely worried. Any advice on what I can do until I receive the call or just any reassurance, I honestly feel like crying

Is he on formula??

@Victoria yes, we've managed to get him booked into the health centre, his appointment is in an hour c

@Shauna his stomach could probably not liking the formula he's currently eating hopefully they'll be able to fix this! I switched my oldest formula once and she was badly constapted and throwing up switched back to the og formula I was using and it cleared up

Sounds like a tummy bug, I doubt it’s the formula unless you’ve made a recent change on that. Most important is keeping them hydrated, so good he’s taking water. I know it’s scary but you’re doing all you can and it will pass

@Victoria He's been on aptamil for months and it's the only formula that has suited him. Doctor said he has a stomach bug, he hasn't thrown up since this morning and seems abit happier in himself, have only been giving him bland food and plenty of water x

@Kadri yeah doctor said he has a stomach bug, we went to baby class yesterday and I think he must've picked it up there. Very scary, I'm a ftm, so whenever he gets poorly with something he's never had it scares the life out of me x

@Shauna awww poor thing I hope he feels better soon 🥹

@Shauna it is scary, but these things happen and sounds like he’s already starting to recover! actually in the long term it’s good for his immune system too so try to look the the bright side!

I know for us I’m the US norovirus had been going around so it could be some kind of stomach bug
