Question by prp: My five month old baby only drinks 20 to 25 ounces of milk a day. ?
She does projectile vomiting once or twice a day. Doctor wants me to give her Zantac twice a day but I don’t feel comfortable giving her meds at such a young age. What can I do to increase her milk intake? Any suggestions?

If shes formula fed try switching her to a different one. Also anywhere from 24-32 oz a day for a 5 month old is fine.

Question by : 7 month old son vomiting and diarreah..can he drink water?
So my son is 7 months old, and today he has had multiple diarreah diapers. He has been somewhat fussy and he just woke up to vomit…projectile vomit…twice in a row. I rocked and settled him and he is sleeping again for now. I was trying to decide if when he wakes and is hungry/thirsty if he should have some water instead of formula? Or even if I should go to buy some pedialite in the morning. He has never had water to drink before.

I read a ? similar to mine, but the baby was 9 months and that can make a big difference. My son doesn’t sit un-supported yet and he is a big boy weighing 20+ pounds. Also he didn’t eat any baby foods today because of the diarreah. I hope someone can help me answer these questions, its 12:41 am…on a Sunday so calling the doc is out of the question…

Give the baby pedia lyte so he won’t get dehydrated. Walgreens has some & they’re open 24 hours.

Question by She is my Sunshine: My 12 month old made herself gagg and throw up…. ?
I posted this in newborn and baby, I think my daughter minght be outgrowing questions for that section. Have you guys seen this?

My 12 month old daughter occassionally will stick her fingers in her mouth and gagg a little, so today, instead of the “No, No” and “Stop hunny” I decided to ignore it and see if she would stop since t didn’t keep my attention, well, she made herself throw up. She has never gone that far before… Has anyone’s babies ever done this?
I thought that it could be her reflux. She does have one. But, i am hoping it is just her messing around. We have a follow up appt with the GI specialist on Monday.

babies like to experiment and explore their bodies. She just wanted to see what would happen. Keep telling her no, and use your hand to GENTLY tap her hands away from her mouth if she is making herself gag.. eventually she will find something else more interesting.

Question by ï ɓεℓσŋɠ ŧσ ℓųҡąş & ŧσɓïąş ŧσσ﹗: My 4 month old keeps vomiting?
Not really sure what to do with him! My son is 18 weeks old and just recovered from suspected bronchiolitis. His cough was so bad he would bring back most of his feeds but the last few days he’s been fine… his congestion is gone, his temperature is back to normal and apart from the odd cough you wouldn’t know he was ill. Only thing is he still keeps coughing after every feed and vomiting everywhere. I’d say at least half of his milk comes back up. If he’s still hungry, I give him more and the same happens again! He doesn’t seem to be in any pain so don’t think it’s reflux… since he was born he would projectile vomit (I mean… it would go a couple of feet and looked like more milk than we put in him!!!) every couple of weeks or so but that seemed to have stopped until now. Is this just from the bronchiolitis? Should I keep feeding him until something stays down?! Will see health visitor later this week but just wondered what to do in meantime?!
He also has a floppy larynx (laryngomalacia) so could this be part of the problem?

My son went through the same thing and it was reflux. He never showed any signs of being in pain, he just vomited everywhere. He was preemie and the little flap that closes the stomach wasn’t fully developed yet and his food would come back up so we had to hold him at at least a 45 degree angle when we fed him and make sure that he stayed upright for about an hour after eating.

Question by beachcutie03: 5 month old baby vomiting and diarrhea, please help me!?
For the past 5 days my 5 month old son has not been feeling well. He’s been vomiting after his bottles, I’m not talking spit up, real full out projectile vomiting. Then he started having blow out diarrhea several times a day. So yesterday on day 4 I took him to the Dr. The Ped. didn’t seem that concerned. He said he’ll get over it in 5 to 7 days from when it started and told me to give him Pedilyte between bottles. So all day yesterday I did that. When i gave him his bottles of formula I would only give him 2 and 3 oz. at a time. Well this morning I wake up to another blowout diarrhea diaper and had to give him a bath. I had just got him dressed and was settling into my bed w/him to give him some more Pedilyte and he threw up all over the place. I just don’t feel like this his a virus. It’s day 5 and I’m not seeing any improvement at all. What is going on????
