Last night Nora woke up because she was throwing up. So Doug and I worked together to get her cleaned up and settled back into bed with new sheets. Her poor little stomach didn't settle for a couple of hours. Today she is feeling fine so it must have been a temporary thing.
But it sure makes you feel horrible when your little girl is gettig sick. It makes you want to do everything to fix it when there isn't much you can do to wait it out.
Did you know that now you can't use Pepto if you have been having "flu like symptoms"? Because of Reye's Syndrom? Doesn't that mean any time they are throwing up we can't use it then?

Amy- I will take a look- thankfully she usually has an iron stomach. This is the first time I really remember her throwing up. We got some giner ale in her and that seemed to make her feel lots better. Today she was right as rain (thankfully!)

sorry to hear the little one struggles!
i used to have alot of tummy upsets too when young,
I think the problem is the weak immune system.
when they say the babies get their immunity from Mom, I think it goes beyond the breast milk.
I think the little ones rely on us for every defense. Like the ears covered from cold, the air fresh and clean, the linens free from germs, the food wholesome and unspoiled, and the skin covered against the elements of damp and chill.
Even this year I got nauseated and of all the things that helped me would you believe it-I ate 2 homegrown peaches and felt completely well again.
I am forming a list of foods that have healing strength...so far I got peaches, oats, crackers, carrots, and apple blueberry baby food.
I also have adrenal stress and they recommend lots of vitamin C, licorice and tic tacs to keep the blood sugar regulated.

I just used Gripe Water on my daughter when she was crying her tummy hurt and I thought for sure she was going to throw up. Thankfully the Gripe Water helped because she was finally able to fall asleep. I never thought about licorice! I will have to try that too,but hopefully not too soon!Oh and once I'm sure the tummy can handle the next day or two I start them on extra probios by giving them organic yogurt and/or kefir. Then I don't have a problem until the next time which isn't very often.
Mothers are those wonderful people who can get up in the morning before the smell of coffee. ~Author Unknown

Yep, I figured that about Pepto, because it contains salicylates. http://pediatrics.about.com/od/weeklyquestion/a/05_pepto_bismol.htm
We just had a throw-up episode Friday night, with my youngest vomiting about 12 times in 12 hours. I have some Zofran from a previous illness (the kind that melts under the tongue). I did give her one dose after her stomach was completely empty. Yes, it took 12 vomit episodes to clear her tummy!
We use drugs very sparingly, but that stuff is a miracle when you need it.

My older neighbor told me when her grandson would have vomiting, she would give him a tablespoon of peach syrup from canned peaches. I've never tried it. To be honest, Audrey has only thrown up when she has had high fevers once or twice. Anyone else ever hear of it or use it? Curious.
