very poorly baby

so we are recovering from major jet lag after flying from Wellington to the UK on wednesday (32 hour trip), DS 7.5months has not adjusted well the the time difference despite all my best efforts to get him into his usual routine..

last night he woke and vomitted, and has had diarreah and more vommitting throughout the day. Hes very lathargic and wont eat any solids or drink breastmilk. he is taking small sips of warm water

I have managed to get some pamol in and he kept that down fine. he is very warm still but not as feverish.

I am very worried about him, can anyone suggest what i should be doing and at what stage do i take him to the doctors. Hes been poorly for going on 16 hours and has missed 3 meals.

Its a stressfull time as we are staying with friends and i am home alone with no car for the time being.

Thanks for the support and suggestions.

what will the doctor do that im not already doing??
(apart from take my money and
tell me he needs rest, and lots of fluids ?!?!)

i have managed to get some dehydration sachet things for him to drink. I have checked his fontonelle and its not sunken in.

still no wet nappies tho.

will see how he is through the night and go to the doctor tomorrow if no change. Got a feeling im in for a long night - my poor baby boy. Its horrible to see them so sick and not be able to reasurre them

I'd probably go straight to the drs but if you're not sure give healthline a ring and they will go through the checklist and advise whether to keep doing what you're doing or take him to the drs (made my first call to them a 3am a few months back and they are very nice)
Heres a handy little web tool that takes you through a similar checklist - but I'd still call healthline rather than rely on this baby check

You're in the UK now right? If you have to pay for the drs/hospital then your travel insurance should reimburse the costs. 0845 4647 is the NHS Healthline phone number. It costs 5p per minute from a BT landline. I don't know of any free phone services sorry. But I still think you should take him to the hospital just to be safe. He has been on a long flight and could have picked something up on the plane. I hope he feels better real soon!

I would ring NHS direct and see what they say, if in doubt take him to the hospital.

Get to a local hospital or doc asap - dehydration can bring a baby down very quickly - and they can catch anything on a plane.
There is a lot they can do that you arent already - fluids I would think would be the most important thing right now guess it depends on what it is - and it will give you piece of mind - that you havent missed something

thats good to hear good luck at the doc
