I'll spare the details, but my baby has had a tummy bug since last Wednesday:( At least this time he isn't projectile vomiting everywhere... well I'll explain this in a minute!! He hasn't acted like he feels bad and hasn't had a fever, but his diapers tell us otherwise. I called the pedi just to make sure they didn't want to see him. One of the pedi's I've never met suggested I put him back on soy formula. I reminded them of what happened last time (projectile vomit) and she said that it might be ok now that he is older. So I tried it. The second bottle I gave him, I sat him up and puke everywhere. I very annoyingly said "NO MORE SOY!" Not annoyed with Cole, but with the pedi.
So off to the walk-in's on Friday to see his primary pedi. She said he didn't look dehydrated and put him on pedialyte. She agreed, no more soy!! But can I tell you how much my "little" 4 month old weighs? 19.10 pds!!! WHAT?? Where is he hiding it? He doesn't look that big, but sure enough he is. I go in tomorrow for his 4 month appointment so we shall see what, if any, percentile he is in.
Ok, back to my poor baby. Pedialyte didn't make a difference, which she said it might not. So Saturday he woke up with a yucky cough. By Sunday it was worse:( Saturday night he wouldn't sleep without me holding him. Of course I held him all night because I knew he didn't feel good. So needless to say I was exhausted. I just want to take it all away and make him feel better. Last night I made a bed on his floor and slept in there after he was up the first time. I wanted to keep him in his room with his humidifier and vicks.
Today his tummy seems better but he still has a cough and congestion, but over all seems to be acting better. Hopefully everything will clear up asap!!
