Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi, my best friend's baby boy is 3 months old....He has been vomiting about 1 ounce or so of his formula at every feeding, for the last 3 days, and is running no fever....He eats about 4 ounces at a time, but about 1 ounce of that is coming back up.....The vomit has had a clear, watery appearance to it, the last 2 days, but today, the baby is vomiting MORE and it is mostly all formula coming up....He has vomited 3 times in the last hour, and she is taking him to the Ped cause she is freakin.....I tried to help her as much I could, cause she asked me to, but she hasnt listened to me before so I dont know if she will now, but then again, sometimes it takes learning the hard way for people to believe....When she was pregnant, I gave her lots of info on vaccines, and gave her one of my books to read as well, but she never read any of it....She acted like she wanted the info and was going to listen to me, but when it came down to it and when her baby turned 2 months old, which was only one month ago, she went ahead and gave him shots!!! The worst part of that though, is she gave him only TWO shots, and they happened to be the worst of the bunch - the Hep B shot (Recombivax) and the PREVNAR shot!!!! I know that Heb B vaccine has mercury in it, but doesnt the Prevnar also have mercury in it too? Her baby didnt have the DTaP, or HiB, or Polio, or anything else, which is what I thought was given at 2 months? He only had those 2 shots? I specifically told her about Hep B vax itself, but she doesnt listen to me! I told her months ago, if she was gonna vaccinate her baby to please ask for the mercury-free shots to at least TRY and make it safer for her baby, although the Ped may give the other kind anyway, and she asked what shots had mercury in it and I told her and I made a point to tell her about the Hep B shot being moved to 6 months instead of at birth or at 2 months like before, and why, and then she goes and gets that shot of all shots!! Now she is freaked out about her baby puking, she blames herself for not nursing him longer, and she said " she doesnt want a sick kid " .....Well, she is also going to the worst Ped in the entire county, which we all warned her about and how so many babies have died because of him, and she still goes.....She calls me and wants my advice and my help with her baby, but will never take my advice about anything.....Why she would vaccinate for those 2 things of all things, is beyond me.....I hate to tell her " I told you so " when her baby is like this and when she is like this, but I need her to realize once and for all that those shots are not safe for her baby!! She has to stay on WIC, so she may be vaxing just for that reason alone! I told her that I would buy the freakin formula if need be, until she can, because that is the kind of person I am and I would do anything for a friend and especially a baby.....Ok, my question is, could her baby just be allergic to the formula, since he is puking it up now and isnt running any fever and is acting happy and just fine otherwise? Could this puking be caused by those 2 shots he had a month ago? If so, how do I explain that to my friend and what info could I show her that would pertain just to vomiting and vaccines? If this IS an allergic reaction to his formula, how do I make her realize and believe that the vaccines may have caused him to become allergic, since she asked me " well why all of a sudden would he be allergic to the formula he has been eating for 2 months? " How do I explain the whole vaccines/sensitize/allergies issue, where she can believe it for once, cause it will pertain to her baby? Is there any websites that have this info in particular, and that mostly pertains to this situation, so she will finally believe that her baby does not need to be vaccinated anymore?? She is a new mother, is in her thirties, and knows nothing about babies at all....but she is a great mother, even though she vaccinates, and stays home everyday with her baby and does her best to care for him and calls me up when she gets scared and needs a friend's advice....I just wish she would TAKE my advice instead of just listening to what I say and doing nothing. Anyway, sorry to ramble on, but I am concerned about this baby having those 2 shots so early in age, when those shots are not normally given then I thought, and I need to know what we can do about the vomiting, like Homeopathically, and how I can make her realize the whole allergy/vaccine issue?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 The baby is probably having problems with the formula. You should get her information on relactating/building her supply.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Probably allergic to the formula. And the vaccines didn't help and very likely are part of the problem At 01:36 PM 08/29/2002 -0400, you wrote: >Hi, my best friend's baby boy is 3 months old....He has been vomiting about 1 ounce or so of his formula at every feeding, for the last 3 days, and is running no fever....He eats about 4 ounces at a time, but about 1 ounce of that is coming back up.....The vomit has had a clear, watery appearance to it, the last 2 days, but today, the baby is vomiting MORE and it is mostly all formula coming up....He has vomited 3 times in the last hour, and she is taking him to the Ped cause she is freakin.....I tried to help her as much I could, cause she asked me to, but she hasnt listened to me before so I dont know if she will now, but then again, sometimes it takes learning the hard way for people to believe....When she was pregnant, I gave her lots of info on vaccines, and gave her one of my books to read as well, but she never read any of it....She acted like she wanted the info and was going to listen to me, but when it came down to it and when her baby turned 2 months old, which was only one month ago, she went ahead and gave him shots!!!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 I agree with Sheri. My son didn't receive the Hep B until five weeks old. He started to silent reflux after this vaccine. > >Hi, my best friend's baby boy is 3 months old....He has been vomiting > about 1 ounce or so of his formula at every feeding, for the last 3 days, > and is running no fever....He eats about 4 ounces at a time, but about 1 > ounce of that is coming back up.....The vomit has had a clear, watery > appearance to it, the last 2 days, but today, the baby is vomiting MORE and > it is mostly all formula coming up....He has vomited 3 times in the last > hour, and she is taking him to the Ped cause she is freakin.....I tried to > help her as much I could, cause she asked me to, but she hasnt listened to > me before so I dont know if she will now, but then again, sometimes it > takes learning the hard way for people to believe....When she was pregnant, > I gave her lots of info on vaccines, and gave her one of my books to read > as well, but she never read any of it....She acted like she wanted the info > and was going to listen to me, but when it came down to it and when her > baby turned 2 months old, which was only one month ago, she went ahead and > gave him shots!!!

Children get sick despite bm and no vaccines,so she should not think doing those things will guarantee a healthy baby all the time.She should atleast switch formula and add probiotics.As for the vaccines hey if she wants to give the worst of the bunch that is hear choice.It's not like she can't read.Why anyone would choose to give hepB above all the others is beyond me though! sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
