Ok, so I have Hypchondria and BIG time anxiety. And I am also a first time Mom!!!! GEEZ!! So as you can probably guess my anxiety with my daughter is horrible.
I have a question about the stomach virus/bug/flu
On Saturday around 4 in the morning my 3 yr old woke up crying because her tummy was hurting. She started throwing up like crazy. The throwing up ended around Sunday evening and then she would randomly throw up on Monday depending on if she ate or drank anything. But during that times she was just sleeping or laying down. I did take her to the Dr and she said alot of people are like that right now and its going around here in Houston.
So since Tuesday she has been eating small meals on and off and hasnt complained about her tummy hurting. She's playing like normal.
But randomly...she opens her little mouth as if she is gagging and asks for water and lays down for a few min...then gets right back up and starts acting her normal self. So I am guessing she gets sudden bouts of nausea.
She hasnt really been eating as much (she has a very hefty appetite) but she does ask to eat and seems to get full faster.
I was told this could last 7-10 days. Is this normal?? How have you moms handled this? I need some advice please....I am going crazy!!! I am scared and my mind starts thinking the worse thing!!! Also, she hasnt pooped since yesterday and she usually poops daily...but I am guessing since she really hasntl eaten that much she may not poop daily until she gets back to eating again.
I know I sound crazy...but I am scared. This is her first virus :-(

This is normal. It could last up to 10 days possibly 2 weeks. It really depends on the virus your daughter has gotten. I know with my girls they will throw up then lay down, then 10 mins later she's fine. All you can do it ride it out. Go back to the doctor if she isn't keeping water down or has really bad diarrhea or has a high fever. Good luck! Hopefully this will end soon!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
