My 6 month old daughter has been doing this infrequently over the last month. The first time it happened, I took her to my Naturopathic Pediatrician - my daughter had pooped (I found tinge of blood in her diaper) and thrown up all over herself simultaniously- and she recommened that I cut back on baby food- give her only on food at a time, only 3-4 tblspns /day with water--the ater she doesn't like and it har dto get her to take- the baby food she loves and eats it all up, one whole jar a day for four days now. And then today, this morning, same thing happened- she vomited and had a really hard poop all at once. I washed her off and figured maybe the food is no good and I need to try her on something else *been feeding her organic carrot baby food for almost a week*. So later on that evening, I give her a VERY small bottle of pears (baby food)- 1 hour later, she throws up all over herself and poops out the largest hardet poop I've ever seen! It looks like a cowpie in her diaper.
I called her pediactrician and I am coming in for appt tomorrow.
Has anyone else ever heard of a baby throing up and pooping simultaniously? Is this a condition or a sign of a condition? She has been acting kinda tired and not her self lately too (since Saturday)- that's why I am going in to doctor tomorrow
But has anyone ever heard of this before?????
What to do????
HELP!
ooo- she was diagnosed with acid reflux about 3 months ago- they gave her some meds for it but she seemed to grow out of it...maybe she needs the meds again???
ALSO- she is a breast-only fed baby - no formula EVER
This could be food intolerances or allergies. Do either you or your partner have a family history of allergies? Hayfever etc.
Both my husband and I have allergies, and our son was completely breastfed. at 6 months we started trying him on baby food but he was completely disinterested.
As we tried different things he would spontaneously power puke. Apples were a complete no no. When you say pears was a trigger it is telling because for an allergy things like apples, pears, peaches and any other pitted fruit lump into the same category of allergy and share a similar feremone with hayfever allergens.
Other signs of allergy are poop related. There were times that I fed our son certain foods and his next BM would scorch his poor little bottom as if I sat him on a hot stove burner, and I couldn't get a diaper on him for hours afterwards because it was so sensitive.
I went to a naturopath and had some testing done on myself for food allergies, and many of the items that I had sensitivities with I found to be 'food issues' for our son.
It is not crucial that you child be eating baby food at this age. You could exclusively breastfeed up to a year if you baby is happy and healthy. Sometimes a babys digestive tract is not ready for food at the early age of 6 months. A baby's stomach and small intestine do not have the bacteria built up to handle many of the foods that we try to feed them initially.
The reason your dr is telling you to introduce 1 food at a time is so that you can determine your baby's trigger foods so you can eliminate them from her diet for the time being. Pears I suspect will be one of them, and then possibly all the others I listed above that fit that category.
It's funny but now on our second pregnancy, I've found that I have inherited the apple, power puke from our son....I doubt that apples will be one of the first introductory foods for our new baby! LOL
