My youngest (5 months) came down with a stomach bug. IT hit hard. And due to her medical condition we had to make a trip to the ER to make sure everything else was fine and that it was just a stomach bug and nothing else. We stayed at the hospital for 4 days for tests and to make sure she was drinking more and peeing enough before being sent home.
It`s going to be a week on Sunday that she`s been sick. Her food (formula) intake has increased a little but not enough. She has between 9-14 oz in a whole day where as when she wasn`t sick she would drink over 30oz. I keeping track of everything that goes in and out. Part of me thinks the reason it`s taking her a while to get over this bug is cause she`s on long term antibiotics (been on them for 4 months now) and that is making it hard for her to fight the bug. I just want my chunky happy baby back.
Quoting SavageDarling:" Awe poor little thing!! And poor momma. I hope she feels better soon."
me too. I look forward to her being better so I don`t have to worry and keep her up a bit later then her bed time just get one more feed in. Plus doing that makes me not get enough sleep either. But I guess that`s what being a mom is.
