FTM question

 I feel like a deer in headlights today. Bo woke up 3 hours early, has taken two cat naps, threw up a little, has diarrhea, and does not have a temp.

The symptoms could also be because:

 A. I know this sounds crazy, but I gave him one of those Gerber fruit and veggie pouches today since we were on the run-- could that be it? He has never had anything like that before (I have made all of his purees and other food) other than Go-Go applesauce which I believe are pretty mild.

B. I was trotting, swaying, and dipping with him on my shoulders at the mall! He then went in his carseat and fell asleep--as soon as he woke up I went to put him in the buggy at Costco and he threw up a little. 

Is this a bug? lack of sleep? Over exposure to germs from shopping? Am I crazy?

 In my defense, Bo has never been sick other than the normal immune building cold. Hand to God this baby has spit up maybe 10 times in his life sooooo I am kind of freaking out--kind of staying calm-cool-and collected, but mostly freaking out.

Your thoughts?

Oh no!! So what do I do? Flame if you will, but when I have a tummy bug I just drink 7-up and chicken soup!

I am guessing I should keep an eye on his temp and fluid intake?

That sounds about right.  Sounds like he might just be fighting something off a little.  Lots of extra snuggles help too :)

I also vote bug.  I'm sure this isn't the first time you have wrestled and played with Bo like that.  And pouches are just the pureed version of the foods with some vitamins added so I'd be floord if it was that.

I vote for letting him eat what he wants, lots of snuggles, and naps with mommy.  I hope he feels better soon.

Awww, I'm sorry Bo is not feeling good, I hope he's better soon. William had a tummy bug about 2 weeks ago and vomited in his crib several times. I finally decided to stay away from dairy until it went away. So I gave him diluted apple juice in his sippy and night time bottle. It was only for a day, no flames please. Anyway, I also gave him toast and apple sauce and stayed away from anything too heavy. It worked its way out and he was fine in a day or so.

I vote bug too. Stay away from dairy for a few days, load up on pedialyte, bananas, toast, rice and applesauce. He'll be good as new soon enough!

Ditto on the BRAT (banana, rice, apples, toast) diet.  It works wonders especially if he has loose stool.  Also, I say lots of liquids...either water, apple juice or soup broth.  Our pedi told us to steer clear of carbonated beverages (flat or not).  Good luck...hope he feels better soon!

Yep, we just went through this.  I freaked out too, because just like Bo, Carter had never been really sick and rarely spit up.  And no fever.  All pp gave great advice.  We're 5 days in and he's still having diarrhea.

I hope Bo gets over it quicker than Carter!  Poor little guy.  Sad

Thank you all SO MUCH! For the babies that have had this or still have it I hope they all get better soon--what a nasty little bug this is! I will follow all remedy suggestions and hope for a quick recovery! Poor Bowen! TMI alert! Now I have it too---I wonder if my H thinks I am so cute now after I have been up all night getting sick and peeing out of both from unda holes? What in the world is this?!?!? I feel terrible.

I'm so sorry you're both sick! It's really awful. I've never been so sick in my life. And now both my parents have it too.
I hope you get over it quickly!

Say wha? It must be going around! My ILs had it a few weeks ago, my H had it earlier this week but did not actually vomit...so gross!

I hope we all feel better soon! I had 4 days of eating planned! Grrrr!
