shared experience, and Dasia still vomiting / 4th day

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just wanted to share something that may come in handy for

anyone with a young RSS child. I saw a very good RSS knowledgable

devel. ped. in Aug, and when I told him I was still nursing, he

said, why? you should stop. The reason, he said was because the

other supplemental drinks have more calories per ounce, unless you

still need to for emotional reasons. Even though I stopped with my

others around a year, it just didn't feel right because she's so

small. I have been nursing only morning and night since she turned

one, and now I am so glad I didn't stop, because now that she has

been so sick for the last 2 weeks, and on her worst days, she has

refused everything else but my milk. I think this will be my saving

grace for this winter of illnesses. I'll stop nursing after this

winter. Then I read from our fellow mom in Japan how good this milk

is for digestion. So, good for the flu, I would think. She has done

well with keeping the milk down, even when she still loses some of

the pedialyte. I think it might be because she's swallowing more air

from the cup, and whenever she'd burp later on, it would cause her

to gag and vomit. So I switched to a straw, she doesn't seem to get

as much air now. I thought this would be over yesterday, and

especially by this morning, but she vomited the 2oz of pedialyte

about an hour after I gave it to her. So this is the 4th day! Is

that normal? I also noticed if I put her down for a nap right after

I give her a couple ounces, she'll keep it down, same at night for

bed time.

Good for you! Autumns problems with always being sick and ear

infections begin with when I weaned her from bf and the only reason I

did so early (9 mos)was becasue I was pregnant again and I nursed

through one pregnancy and I didn't have enough milk and I was so

concerned with Autumn getting enough calories, so I slowly weaned

off. She got ear infection after ear infection, sickness after

sickness and wouldn't eat/drink. I also nursed my oldest son that

long, he was severely allergic to milk and had a lot of feeding

issues, but bf was the only thing that kept him going too... Thank

you for posting!

I hope Dasia feels better soon!

How is Dasia? I'm trying to catch-up and was wondering how she is

doing. Let us know.

Thanks for your concern H! I'm so sorry you have been through so much! And still

so concerned for everyone else. Dasia is all better, as of yesterday has her

appetite back. I'll be keeping purell by the door from now on, for as soon as

the kids get home from school!

- that's a great idea. I make the boys wash their hands as

soon as we walk in the door from wherever we've been. And, I keep

baby wipes in the car and intermittently make them wipe their

hands. But,.....with all my efforts - my kids are constantly sick.

I am glad Dasia is feeling better! Also,we just started doing the

same thing last week! I have a large pump of hand sanitizer by the

front door and everyone has to use it as soon as we come in. I am

hoping it will help some...
