Hubby brought home a bug and on Friday it finally hit him. Bad. Like out of both ends bad. Can't keep anything in. So I've been changing nappies not only for Lily but for that big hunk of guy I married. Went to the doctor's... it's gastroenteritis. Anyway, if it only stopped there...
Lily started vomitting too this evening. Rang the Children's Hospital at Westmead. They have this great helpline. So the paediatrician nurse tells me, children younger than six months dehydrate real fast. Check, already knew that. Goes on to say I'm to try and feed her 5ml of milk every five minutes. Hmm. Try that one when you're breastfeeding. So she suggests I express and use a dropper. Cool. I can do that. If Lily carries on puking that back up, we need to head to the hospital so she can be on IV fluids. So yeah... wondering what kind of night I'm gonna be having for the third time in a row.
