My son has had a flat head since 2 months old. Everytime he goes to the doctor I ask about it and she always says ‘do tummy time, prop him up, sit him up more’. He is now 8 months old and since 4 months has been always propped up. Should i get a second opinion because to me, his head is pretty darn flat
HELP! So my son had his flu shot on October 8th! On the 9th he had a really ugly cough, and runny nose. On the 10th he woke up with a fever. On the 11th they all got combined and he couldn't eat. He would vomit everything! Including his milk. On the 12th , he didn't vomit until midnight! It was heartbreaking! && this morning he hasn't dranked milk or anything and is having a really ugly vomit pure water. His throat is all buggy. His nose is stuffy 👃. He has to breathe through his mouth. And keeps choking. Should I take him to the ER? Or will it pass? Medicine given: Tylenol, Sudefed, Motrin
Day 3 of fighting constant fevers. He has his third febrile seizure yesterday. He isn't even 2 years old yet.
My son just turned 4 months and he eats a lot like 5 ounces every 2 - 3 hours is that bad ? Should I start introducing him to cereal ? He's on enfamil formula maybe mixing cereal in his milk will keep his tummy full for a longer time ? I don't want to be over feeding him , he also spits up a lot & sometimes I have a really hard time getting his gases out he randomly gets these tantrums out of nowhere because he has trapped gas & the only way he calms down is if I pick him up and walk around the house or rock him I've been giving him gas drops that the doctor prescribed but I don't think it's helping much I don't know what else to do he's really good all day & than at night he acts up and wakes up in the middle of the night too many times crying cause he's in pain , help me ladies 😳🤔🙄😑😫
Super pissed yall cuz ever since he was 2 months old I’ve asked the doctor how we can fix his flat head and up until the age of 8 months our answer was ‘tummy time’ which we did. But here he is almost 9 months and I took him to a different pediatrician and she tells me a helmet won’t fix his head and he will most likely he will need surgery. I’m upset, frustrated, scared, and sad. I don’t understand why nobody did anything for him when I asked a million times and now it’s too late

@grisi849, he may be dehydrated if he’s complaining of a headache but more than likely it’s just an overall bug making him feel miserable. Try not to worry to much, as long as he is able to take fluids and is peeing/has at least 1 wet diaper in 24 hrs, that is considered ok.
Also, I have heard that it’s very uncommon for newborns to get stomach bugs. I can’t remember my source so I’m not 100% sure how credible. But if baby is nursing, he is getting great antibodies from you as well.
💗🙏 hope your boy feels better soon

@grisi849, Oh I’m sure that’s stressful! It sounds like you’re taking all the right precautions! Good luck & I hope your son feels better soon 💜

@phoebesmommy yes, I'm giving him Tylenol to keep him comfortable. One thing i am noticing though is that he is telling me his head hurts. Not constantly just when the fever goes up.

@ek620 glad to hear he's feeling better. Im not sure if he drank milk from the day prior and that's what cause the vomiting. It's scary since i have my almost 6 week old baby. But I've been washing my hands and sanitizing constantly. It's really hard to keep them in different rooms. But im trying. Also making sure my son doesn't touch the baby.

@grisi849, are you giving him any meds? If you’re doing ibuprofen that’s known for being harsh on the tummy

@phoebesmommy my 2.5 year old. He's been drinking water and gatorade and keeping everything down since his initial vomit which was yesterday at 5ish. His highest was at 103.1 at 12 pm yesterday and any other time it has gone up it has been between 100.9 and 102.

This just happened to my son this week. He was running a fever over 102.5° on Monday & vomited twice that morning. Then no vomiting after that. No diarrhea. His fever was up & down for a couple of days with meds. I took him to the pedi & she said it was likely a stomach bug. I monitored his temp, made sure to keep him hydrated, and offered bland food. Took a few days for the fever to break & he didn’t have much of an appetite, but he’s finally feeling back to normal now.

Oh wait duh the older one sorry. Sounds like a tummy bug. Poor boo. Keep him taking sips of water/pedialyte/Gatorade and stick to a very bland diet of toast bananas rice applesauce broth
