Poorly 6 month old

My daughter is 6 months and yesterday pm she projectile vomited everywhere bringing up all of her afternoon bottle. At 9pm I woke up to her projectile vomiting everywhere again all of her bedtime bottle she was also boiling hot to touch and had a temp. She’s also been extremely upset the last 2 days and her first tooth has come through. I’m worried about her getting dehydrated as she is refusing milk this morning. Could the sickness be due to her teething or is it likely to be an illness? Not sure whether to keep offering milk or water and when to ring the doctor if she doesn’t take any fluids? Thank you so much ☺️

*also to add nothing has changed in terms of her usual formula or bottles and weaning. (Currently has veg purrees for evening meals the last 4 weeks)

I would take her to the doctor if her temp is still high after 24 hours :) it could just be the teeth, have you tried giving Panadol an then seeing if she wants a bottle? Sorry I’m not much help x

That sounds more like illness than teething in my opinion but I’m no expert. The only time my little one was like that it was a bug, he then had diarrhoea 24 hours after vomiting. No one else caught it though but I put it down to a bug. He was 8 months at the time. I’d give it 48 hours from the first episode and if no better ring 111. A bug is likely to be resolved after 48 hours with no harm done xx

With the water, I’d just keep offering water for now that’s what we did at first then offered milk later on when he seemed a bit more settled and hungry x

She could possibly have acid reflux also.

This exact thing happened to my bub recently it turned out to be covid (she fought it off in 1 day so don’t be alarmed if it is that) can you do a test on her to rule it out?
When I took her to docs they said keep giving her calpol to bring the temp down and keep offering her milk . As long her nappies are wet then she’s not dehydrated. Take her docs if you’re concerned, it’s not nice seeing them like that xx

this is so interesting I tested her Friday as my partner had it last week and she was negative the whole duration maybe I’ll test her today as she could now have it? Thank you xx

When my daughter didn't want milk I gave her rice water home based u can try that see If she likes it but take her to her doctor see what going on has she been peeing and pooping average or poorly

It’s likely the stomach flu, it’s that time of year. My girl just had that.

Not teeth sounds like illness teething only causes a temp 100.4 and lower anything about that is something else

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
