Hello Mamas,
I'm de-lurking to ask if anyone can chime in here. This is kinda long- my apologies. But for those kind souls who want to read on....DD is almost 9 months. EBF (breast at home and lunchtime, bottles of EBM at daycare), very few solids as yet. For much of April she (and then me too) has been sick with congestion/cough/ears/sometimes fever. Ped put her on antibiotics and it took a couple rounds of different abx to clear her symptoms (it was the haemophilus bacteria, but not the Hib version). All this may or may not be relevant to the current issue.
Because of the abx, her belly got out of whack, diarrhea, diaper rash, etc. Still going there, even with our regular doses of probiotics. But last Friday I had to bring her home from daycare with 103.5 fever. Visited ped, got more antibiotics since it seemed like perhaps the bug was not fully vanquished. Fever broke, ok. Got the abx on Saturday and gave one dose. Couple hours later, spectacular vomit episode (in the bed, of course). Called ped, since seemed related to the abx dose IMO. Got prescription for different abx. Took that dose Sunday. Within four hours, another big vomit. So I stopped the abx, as I was getting sick of her having to take them anyway.
All fine Monday. Tuesday night, one big vomit. Tonight (Weds), same. I should add - all of these have occurred at night, after the big long nurse-fest that is our bedtime ritual. And, her appetite during the day has been lower than usual (not really taking more than one or part of one bottle at daycare; not nursing as much with me during the day).
She is teething and just figured out crawling. She is perfectly chipper, and in fact, once recovered from the vomit-moment, she gets all goofy and wants to roll around in the bed and play before settling back down. But she is not eating much, especially since she tosses up what amounts to her biggest feed of the day.
The last piece (perhaps) of this puzzle is that papa came down with high fever/chills/vomiting on Sunday. Seemed to clear up by end of the day. But he says his bowels (ahem) are still not right. AND, poor Granny, who babysat Monday night while I had a night class, came down with chills, vomiting and diarrhea yesterday and today.
So it seems like a stomach bug? But she's really only vomiting once a day at most? And having green poop which seems more likely due to the abx messing up her system. And no return of fever? Gah! Any thoughts? I am basically just watching and waiting, but would love to hear from you, esp anyone who's seen a comparable pattern.
Thanks and be well!
