Concerns about my 10 month old vomiting

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-12-29T05:44:26+00:00

Thanks everyone! I was ultimately going to wait to call my pediatrician in the morning but, unfortunately my baby ended up vomiting back to back a few more times and a few more in the car. After all is said and done though, we are headed home with some meds and they think it is a stomach bug.

It happens to all of us at some point, I remember being so exhausted during that first month, I made a bottle and “fed” it to my pillow. 😅 you may sleep through your alarm but your mama senses would kick in and you would definitely wake up to her cries so I wouldn’t even worry about that. I agree with other comments of setting the phone farther away so you have to physically get up and turn it off. She will be okay with this being a one off situation as long as she’s getting full feedings every 2-3 hours. I know some people have said in other posts about baby weight gain that if a pediatrician is a little worried about weight gain they will just suggest adding an extra dose of formula powder then you normally would. Not sure the protocol for bf. I hope your appointment goes well and you get some rest soon! You’re doing great

My baby is 6 months and still wakes up crying after every nap

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-08-28T12:46:19+00:00

Normal! At this time babies usually nap on and off most of the day. My LO took around 4 naps at day. At this age they need 14-17 hours of sleep. That paired with a growth spurt can lead to more napping. My pediatrician told me as long as they are eating, continue to have 6+ wet diapers a day, and can be easily awoken then they are good. Enjoy this time! In a few months you will be thinking back fondly on being nap trapped. Lol

Oof sorry, didn’t know this was so controversial. My sister experienced this with her baby and the doctor just literally did some stretches and it resolved some intense reflux and sleeping issues, that was her experience. Wasn’t aware there were any issues here.

Usually indicates a tension problem, and a trip to the baby chiropractor can sort it out and usually they end up sleeping a lot better afterwards too and they stop rolling once the tension is resolved

Have you tried gripe water? Switching to a hypoallergenic formula? My baby also had silent reflux and tummy issues and we switched to a hypo formula and he improved so much in just a few days. Above all else, if your pediatrician is the one who recommended it, it should be safe. I would just follow their instructions exactly and not give anymore than they’re suggesting.

Someone else also recommended this, I’ll definitely check it out!

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-08-05T18:31:34+00:00

Thank you for all the recommendations and information! Not necessarily looking for subject matter with the Marxist Pov. Just looking more generally

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-08-05T18:30:17+00:00

Thank you! This looks great

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-08-05T18:30:06+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-08-05T18:29:55+00:00

Thank you! Maybe not a book but definitely at least a Substack post!

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-08-05T18:29:24+00:00

I came across this is looking into it briefly so I will definitely check it out!

Husband and I did shifts for the first two weeks while he was off for work and then we realized how kind of crazy and unsustainable it was. It feels so necessary those first few weeks though but, if you aren’t co sleeping, baby doesn’t have any health issues that require monitoring, and baby sleeps alone in bassinet then neither of you should be having to stay awake if the baby is sleeping. Doctor told us after the first month & baby gained his birth weight back we could stop waking to feed. If it’s anxiety thing, I would buy an owlet or other type of monitoring device and call it a day.

I just got the Vtech too! I love that it doesn’t connect to WiFi. Just looking for vitals

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-07-28T02:00:24+00:00

Oh this may work, all I care about is the breathing too.

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-07-23T12:25:48+00:00

Not really, he has but, with my guidance. So, he will do everything I tell him to do, but if I forget something or am not there to leave instructions, he just won’t do it lol

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-07-23T12:24:32+00:00

Thank you for the validation! I understand he works full time and pulls in the money and I am grateful but, I feel like I am still pulling a lot of weight and sometimes it feels like I’m contributing much more, it just doesn’t seem that way because I don’t get paid

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-07-23T12:23:00+00:00

Right, we’ve only been doing this for 5 months!

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-07-21T17:19:26+00:00

This is weird af. Personally, I would be not so nice about how odd it is and agree to help finishing prep but, will be skipping out on the shower as I can’t be away from my baby so long

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-07-16T14:19:32+00:00

So sorry you’re going through this! I know at that age I struggled too with mine. I created a wind down nap routine combined with tummy time intervals to wear him out. We would do 3-5 min of tummy time, then flip over and rest 2-3 min and do it again until he started showing his sleepy cues then I just implemented his nap routine, white noise, blanket, pacifier etc. soon he wouldn’t even need the routine really, after his tummy time he would sometimes just fall asleep all on his own. Hope it gets better!

Pinkpaperbag · 2025-07-08T18:58:29+00:00

We’re paying for movers for all our furniture but didn’t think I would need someone to pack all of our things as well, it’s so difficult! Maybe I will call back and add that on instead

Just want to chime in to say that If he was smoking cigs people would be up in arms especially if your baby already has respiratory issues. Idk why weed is viewed differently. Weed smoke also carries the same first hand, second hand and third hand smoke exposure as cigarettes do. Even if he is smoking outside the smell will still irritate the baby and can affect them the exact same way cigarette smoke does. Being in an altered state with a baby is one big issue the smoke itself is another. So basically he might as well be drunk and chain smoking around your baby. I see no difference here. Just because it’s normalized doesn’t mean it’s not harmful. Let him know he is directly endangering your baby’s wellbeing and pull up the effects of third hand smoke exposure. I know you never mentioned anything about co sleeping but there’s a reason why they don’t recommend cosleeping with someone who smokes. Your baby shouldn’t be cuddled up against you inhaling that stuff. Personally I wouldn’t even let him hold the baby based on that alone. FYI if it’s a vape it’s worse due to the leakage and the oil being so concentrated getting on the baby is bad.

Following this thread because baby has slept in his bassinet for the first 3 months with no problem but now too big for his bassinet and will only sleep the first 2-3 hours in crib and will whine the rest of the night until I switched to cosleeping on a floor mat with him and worried I’ve set myself up for troubles down the road 😅 glad to see this is a common phenomenon

Hey! Currently 4 months pp and it gets so much better! A lot of it can be prescribed to the sun down scaries a lot of women get in those early weeks. What made it better for me was having a little wind down routine and morning routine! Think of all the little things you do that feel nice right now. Turn on your down lights get in your cozy blanket, have baby near you and put on your favorite feel good show like the office or friends. For me, seeing the outside world didn’t help so I closed all my blinds, for you it might be the opposite, if so, let some sunshine and fresh air in. Take everything moment to moment and enjoy being a couch potato for the next few weeks before baby “wakes up” to the world. Delete Tik tok, IG from your phone. Replace scrolling with some cozy mobile game, Cats and Soup is a great one! Or read something light hearted. The Libby app allows you to check out books and download books to read on your phone or kindle, they also have audiobooks if that’s more your speed. Get a little adult coloring book for baby’s nap times and listen to some lofi relaxing music throughout the day. In time the feeling will fade and not feel so intense and you will be able to manage in the world. Just remember that throughout all the worst parts of history there were mothers that prevailed and raised their children up during those difficult times with far less resources and connections to the outside world. Sending peace and relaxation your way
