He just threw up a bunch more breastmilk, but then wanted to nurse right away and didn't throw up, so I am guessing even if he can keep a little down, that should help with him not getting dehydrated. Sorry about your bad experience in the ER- it seems like sometimes the ER Dr.'s have no idea about babies. Glad your son was ok in the end. Thanks, EG & welcome to my blog- Cole is 15 months.

How old is your baby? when my son was 17 months he got very sick while i was visiting my parents, across the country, away from the pediatrician. He threw up everything, including my milk, but it was the only thing that comforted him and so when we went to the ER I just let him suckle on me for the 4 hour stretch that we were there. He threw up every so often the curdled milk (I was drenched!) but he never needed on IV or was dehydrated at all. I felt like the nursing really saved us that night. He got better by morning, but it took him a day or two to get back to eating regular food. He nursed for 2 days straight and lost a little weight, but boy did my supply bump up! They gave him a suppository in the ER that was supposed to stop the vomiting, and a few months later I got a letter from my health insurance company telling me to discard any leftover suppositories that I may have left. They have been shown to be completely ineffective at stopping the vomiting. When I read that, I realized that the slow drip of my milk was what kept my son hydrated and let his body pass the bug on its own. Good luck. I just stumbled up on this blog entry and had to comment.
