I am not really sure if I should place this here or in weaning, but the primary prob is bf, so am here for now.
DD is 13mo, has been bf'd, eating fine and have introduced beakers of cow's milk during day, taking approx 200-300ml in two cups at nursery with breakfast and afternoon snack. I bf her 7am, 5.30pm, 8pm (bedtime feed, often feeds to sleep), then usually once or twice in the night, goes off to sleep as soon as has had her milk.
Last week she had a cold with high fever, and a little bit of vomiting, but has recovered fine. I now have horrible head cold with catarrh etc., but have not taken paracetamol or decongestants or anything for a few days. Am not sure if this is relevant, but am including in case anyone has an idea linked to this.
Last night she had tea (tomato quiche, broccoli, carrots, new pots; a piece of pear and a few spoons yoghurt and a small piece of cheese), bath, bf bed all fine. At 4.30 she woke for night feed, all normal, then GUSH VOMIT EVERYWHERE!!!
She went back to sleep afterwards fine, not unhappy at all, then had milk at 5.30 or so again vomited a bit, I got up 6.30 and then fed her around 7am, at 8ish she threw up everywhere on way to buggy.
She had a normal day at nursery, ate her meals, drank her water and milk, all fine. I fed her when she woke up after the walk home (she tends to doze off in the pram), all OK. Dinner (pasta filled with tomato [from a packet], homemade cheese sauce, cucumber sticks, some yoghurt). DH was meant to put to bed while I went to pn exercise class.
Came home, baby still up (rubbish excuses about having fun playing etc., but fine, it's only one night), got ready for bed, feed, vomited everywhere again on newly-changed sheets .
My diet has been nothing unusual at all in last couple days, and I ate the same teas as her.
Am currently on sofa trying not to cry whilst DH tries to settle her as she was clawing at me for milk/comfort and I don't want to make her sick again. I don't want the end of bf'ing to be like this!
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, or what I can do to help my baby girl? I know, this is a bit trivial in comparison to getting new mums feeding, but I'm so sad and worried about how I'll settle her when she's so used to mummy=milk=comfort.
Thanks for any help!
