Question: My son had a fever, followed by vomiting once and instantly feeling better, no diarrhea. His fever shot up again a few hours later. Fever has been back and forth but he has not vomited since that initial time. Anyone experience something similar with their little ones? Could it be a tummy bug? He hasn't complained of a stomach ache at all. Last time he did he was pointing at his tummy crying and saying it hurt. Could it be food poisoning. I know we are not doctors but it good to have input from other mom's. As always i will follow up with his doctor but not till Monday. 😑😑
@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
Which son? What was the temp? Is he keeping fluids down?
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Hey I’m 26 with two children #myfirstpost
Okay I’ll be real and explained why I joined, I didn’t know I could be looked up or anyone would actually see this post, I was informed someone I know has been stealing pics and I came to look and see what’s going on if any of mine were on there or anyone else I knew. I just typed until it let me post since it was required before I could look around on the app.
Preggies,
