Projectile vomiting
I have a 4 week old baby and I had never seen her vomit before this. Last night after a feed she projectile vomited everything we had just given her, like this episode went a few inches into the air kinda deal. She’s never done that before, she spits up but nothing like this. Well I thought it must’ve been a one time thing so last night we went to bed as usual. Well some time after a feed I noticed it smelled like vomit again and I look over and her bassinet sheet is soaked, so I assume it happened again. I thought to myself after reading some subreddits that okay it happened twice but if it happens a third time maybe I should be worried… anyways I woke up this morning with her and there are marks on her sheet as if it had happened again, I didn’t notice a smell but ya start to not notice things as time goes on in the night ya know… but I did notice it now… so I assume it happened a third time. She has a doctors appointment on the 12th but should I get her seen sooner?? Should I wait and see if it was spit up vs vomiting last night? I hadn’t seen what actually caused the marks on her sheet so I don’t know for certain, should I wait and see if it happens again? Or should I have her seen asap? Not sure what to do or think and google made me scared she randomly developed pyloric stenosis🫠🫠
This just happpened to my 3 months old daughter last week, I took her to her pediatrician and then to the emergency and she had a stomach virus… if your baby continues to throw up, i believe three times is enough to see the doctor for, you should see the doctor. I took her to the ER after the pediatrician because she continued to throw up and they started and IV so she won’t be dehydrated. What they made me do was give her pedialyte so she can stay hydrated, because it is lighter than milk. It took about 3-4 days for the stomach virus to go away
