What a week.

Wednesday night Babychair woke up at 11pm and started throwing up every 15 minutes.

Deckchair rang NHS direct and I comforted Babychair who clung to me even whilst throwing up, we both were coated in sick. She was so unhappy and we were so concerned about her. Our daughter has never been ill before, except a sniffly nose for a couple of days when she was a year old.

We were advised to take her to the CHildren's A&E department just to be on the safe side. As she had fallen earlier and bite her tongue but she had not hit her head.

She ended up throwing up every 15 minutes between 11pm and 2am poor baby

We spent 3 hours in A&E on Wednesday night between 11pm and 2:30am, they wanted to keep her in but I refused (she wouldn't of settled on her own, she would of just screamed and been upset all night, I could not leave her) and they were only going to watch her, hence I did that at home ourselves

Interesting their suggestion was water with those nasty tasting salt mixes in them but as we are breastfeeding, breastmilk is much better for her and she doesn't need the salts as look as she can hold on to the breastmilk...I am so pleased we are still nursing

Thursday morning she was cranky, unwell but holding down breastmilk. We have been told to limit solids and stick to clear fluids/breastmilk

She is still ill today (Saturday) but much better. We are slowly trying to introduce solids (as she has been on breast milk and water for a couple of days)

She doesn't ask for food anymore and ignores most of the offered food.

She constantly wants to be attached to a breast, I know it is for comfort but it is a bit like having a newborn again. I can't do anything without holding and nursing her. If I stand her up for a moment whilst I stand up or something she wails.

I am so pleased that we have various baby slings to carry her in.

I am so pleased that we are still breastfeeding, I think it would have been even worst if I couldn't get any nutrients into her.

I am also pleased we EC as her diarrhea has gone straight into the toilet and for that I am eternally grateful. She had enough control to ask for the toilet and we spent a lot of time waiting whilst the poo flowed out of her.

She pointed to her bits and said `Oh Dear' in such a quiet way….poor love.

Horrible as this illness has been, it shows me that attached parenting definately works for us.

So we have been house bound for a while and will be home for a few days yet.

I just need more sleep and my healthy baby back.
