Having said that, sometimes he'd do big sicks a while after feeds (his favourite place was on the changing mat - then he'd rub his head in it - eek!).

Eventually he'd begin to thrash around whilst feeding and I'd click that it was probably wind, by which time he was full to the eyebrows and as soon as I sat him up to wind him, he'd give back everything from his boots up (so it seemed!). I think sometimes he'd get a pain in his tummy, think it was hunger and want to feed and feed to stop it hurting. she was really fed up with it at 5 months but now (he is 9 months and crawling) she has forgotten about it.ĭS was a very sicky baby - he used to do what were referred to as 'big sicks' in our house (we're SO good at calling spades spades here!). My friend's baby had really bad reflux and was constantly sick - he improved when he learned to sit up. although very very annoying and irritating it is managed with something like infant gaviscon and you will have to put up with the washing for a few months. ī) If it is PS, once it is diagnosed it is fixed really really easily and quickly. I know this all sounds scary but what I am saying isĪ) If it is PS it will be picked up because it doesn't get better and the projectile vomiting will get worse and the baby gets poorly and doctors won't ignore that. He needed a scan to determine Pyloric Stenosis and then a very very quick and simple surgical procedure to fix it. He had been 10lbs at birth and was 8lbs at 4 weeks. Luckily I was at my mums at the time and she marched me and ds down to her doctor's and demanded that DS was seen to (my own doctor kept sending me home telling me not to worry).Īt hospital DS was weighed. He was diagnosed with severe reflux and was given infant gaviscon which just made him projectile vomit porridge.īy 4 weeks he was projectile vomiting every feed and would sleep for hours and hours in between in sheer exhaustion.īecause he was under 6 weeks I was told it couldn't be Pyloric Stenosis.Īt 4 weeks he slept for.

He would get me, dh, the sofa, the carpet and the ceiling (if he was lying down) in one go. but need feeding every hour.īy 3 weeks he was projectile vomiting every other feed and it was way more than half a beaker full. If I kept the feeds small he would be ok.

At first it was once a day after a big feed.

Although, having said that, PS is not usually diagnosed before 6 weeks.ĭS started vomiting a lot when he was 11 days old. My DS had pyloric stenosis and although your dd throwing up alot is distressing Tanis, it doesn't sound like PS.
