ok so last night jacob threw up his entire last bottle, but his reflux is getting really bad so didnt think anything oof it, well this morning he woke in a right mood took his normal 3oz at 8am but has refused to eat since i managed to get him to eat 2oz about 20mins ago but he has completely thrown that up!

We took him out as normally he is happy when were out the house but he didnt want to be held (which is very strange!) he wanted to sit in his pram, which he normally hates being in. He is whimpering when he sleeps but because he doesnt nap when were at home he is just screaming/crying every couple of mins.

What do i do?? He has been teething for a few weeks now which has gotten worse over past week but no sign of teeth. He is refusing water/juice too so my main concern is dehydration. When is the point when i go the doc?? after 12hours with no fluid?? Or ??? XxX

I'd say if things havent improved by the morning then take him to the docs just keep trying to get some fluids of any kind in him in the meantime and see how he goes, obv if he worsens take him straight in

TBH hun, I'd take him as son as you're worried about him. Better to be safe than sorry. I hope he feels a bit better soon x x

There is this awful bug going round at the moment - Max had it and was vomitting every feed for five days. The doctor prescribed diarolyte which thank goodness he took to replenish his fluids. I think if Jacob still isnt himself tomorrow I'd get an appointment.
