HELP! 6mo old vomiting
| Tue, 01-23-2007 - 9:28pm |
My 6mo old has vomited a few times this evening...around 6 (had formula at 5) and again around 8 (soon after a bottle). I checked his temp a few times and no fever though right after vomiting he had the hots & chills. His energy was ok, a little less than normal, and after the second vomit, he still played a little, but just wanted to be held and then fell asleep in my arms around 9pm.
I checked webmd & this website for info on vomiting without fever and both said to give small amounts of pedialyte. Problem - I don't have any and I can't go get any b/c my toddler is asleep and dh is away.
Should I let him sleep through the night? Or should I wake him to try a small amount of formula so he doesn't get dehydrated?
Thanks!

As long as he's sleeping, seems hydrated, and his temp is down, I'd let him sleep and just keep a close eye on him.
I'll be praying, and let us know how he is in the morning!
