Poor Little Sick Baby

Falyn started throwing up on Tuesday. She was throwing up every five minutes for about 2 hours and then the frequency gradually decreased. When she nursed, she immediated threw it all back up. Wednesday morning I couldn’t get her to nurse at all and ended up pumping and giving her 1/2 teaspoon of my milk every fifteen minutes. If I tried to increase the amount she would start throwing up again. On Thrusday she was doing a bit better so I went back to nursing her. That worked fine for a while, but then she started throwing up again. So, I went back to the 1/2 teaspoon of my milk every 15 minutes. I talked to her doctor and she said that is sounded like Falyn had the rotavirus. She also said that it could last for 7-10 days! She said to continue doing what I was doing and that she should get better in the next few days. Today I am able to nurse Falyn and she has been keeping it down. Poor thing has been just lying in my arms all day long. She isn’t at all her normal smiley happy self. I sure hope she is better soon.
