Better day

Sterling slept much better than I thought she would.  She woke up 4 times.  The 2nd & 3rd time, I decided to give her 2 oz of formula.  She hadn't thrown up and it had been 6 hours since she went down.  She took it well.  The 4th wake up was around 6 and she had thrown up.  Nick got up with her (and Xander) while I slept an extra half hour.  She's been a happy baby, but sleeping a lot!  Sleeping so much I wonder if she will sleep tonight.  She's thrown up 4 times today (so far), but she's also came down with the diarrhea.  I decided to give her toast an hour ago, so far so good.  She's also had 3, 2 oz bottles.  She does not like the pedialyte (makes her gag), so it's water and 2 oz of formula to hydrate her.  I'm so glad she's feeling much better today compared to yesterday.  She was looking horrible yesterday trying to clear out the infection.  She's still holding her ears, but 3 of the 4 teeth are poked through her gums.  So, I'll just mark the ear holding as her way of soothing herself when she's teething.  And because her ears turned out perfectly at the checkup yesterday.

It's not any fun seeing your babies sick :(

  1. Poor baby! Hope she gets over this bug soon. :)

    Have you tried mixing the pedialyte in with the small amount of formula you are giving her?
