hi,

Im writing this covered in projectile vomit!

This is the second morning in 3 i have been covered. My 6 month old is NEVER sick and always finishes each bottle, lately she will refuse her bottle, cry and squirm when i try to give her it and on occasion sick it all up.

We have started solids - slowly introduced - and she has been fine..... so this leads me to believe its the switching from the stage 1 milk to stage 2? She gets Aptimal. (she is also teething - but has been for about 2 months)

Has experienced an "all of a sudden sicky baby"? Im getting worried she is not getting enough fluids.

Yeah hopefully its just the change in formula and nothing else. Hope she stops the vomiting and goes back to her happy self while feeding. ;)

Back when I tried to change my baby to stage 2 formula she flat out refused it. Hated it and would cry and squirm to avoid the bottle. I consulted 2 docs about changing her to stage 2 formula (her doc in Oz and her doc here) and both told me to keep her on stage 1 even if she did accept stage 2. They explained stage 1 formula, in any brand of formula, is closer to breast milk than any stage 2. So I stuck with stage 1 which made my DD very happy. ;) If your bubba continues to vomit though, maybe get her checked out... Thanks shellly, i had a feeling it may be the milk change.... but its always nice to have a 2nd, 3rd opinion. I will switch her back to 1 and monitor her. she is due her 6 month jags soon so will bring it up with the Dr if the sickness persists. :-)
