Is this a bug going around - or should i be worried?!
in Baby
I have a sick (i think) baby. He is between 4 and 5 months old and i started weaning him 3 weeks ago - that is going fine. I started to give him formula during the day, with just breast milk in the evening and morning last Monday. It was all going swimmingly except he had a cold (3rd one!!!) Then i fed him on Friday and he proectile vomited all 7ozs 2 mins later! He was as happy as larry after that but refused all food until his bedtime feed. Ate 3 times in the night with no probs, then had his rice and had his formula. He then again projected it all over me and although he screamed for food, would not take either bottle, breast or rice. He then ate in the evening and had 3 night feeds. On Sunday he did the same, xcept he refused all feeds during the day completely, and screamed alot. Today he screamed at the bottle, i gave him expressed breast milk which he ate 3oz of, then projected it back up again.
I can't figure out what's wrong, he was ok on the formula before - so surely its not that, he will drink from a bottle, so surely its not that, but he eats lots at night, but then that's a consequence of fewer day feeds isn't it??
Between times he is happy and plays and he has a slightly lower temp, but nothing on the scale of worry!
What do you think? I'm debating a doc appointment but i feel like an over-protective parent, especially as he is in good spirits!:\?

Definately worth getting lo checked out especially if he his projectile vomiting alot.
Good luck x
Thanks for all the replies, he seems fine now, i am going to try Aptamil milk for a few days, but will give breast milk from a bottle first as he may associate these with feeling poorly? Do you think? As i think the Cow and Gate may have caused it, but i won't really know as i will try new milk and see how i go......!
