I know it's meant for kids but could you drink some pedialyte (or the adult equivalent)? Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206900 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:27:24 +0000 mossyslane 1206900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You poor thing--I remember being stomach sick when nursing and it was tough to even keep my supply up because I didn't feel like eating/drinking and was losing so much fluid. Hope you can take it as easy as possible today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206786 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 10:26:41 +0000 swedishfish 1206786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: @cmomma17: thanks...I'm not feeling great again so maybe it wasn't food poisoning. Ugh, I feel horrible but DH had to call in sick today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206712 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 09:21:01 +0000 cmomma17 1206712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you're feeling better! I'd keep nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206659 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:21:50 +0000 Corduroy 1206659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry you're going through this. I had food poisonIng a month ago. I BF through it but it is incredibly draining. Please take care of yourself and hydrate when you can. If you have anyone in addition to DH that you can call for backup you might want to give them a heads up now. My DH got sick hours after me and we were both useless for a while. Feel better!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206636 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:21:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1206636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kelly mom: </p> <p>If mom has food poisoning, breastfeeding should continue. As long as the symptoms are confined to the gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps), breastfeeding should continue without interruption as there is no risk to the baby. This is the case with most occurences of food poisoning. If the food poisoning progresses to septicemia, meaning the bacteria has passed into mom’s bloodstream (mom would most likely be hospitalized), see this guidance from Dr. Ruth Lawrence:</p> <p><a href="http://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/illness-surgery/mom-illness/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/illness-surgery/mom-illness/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206634 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:20:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1206634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep nursing!!! </p> <p>Unless you are like hospitalized sick keep going! Make fire to wash up though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206633 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:20:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 1206633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like food poisoning to me. That's exactly how I would describe it when I had it once. Especially now that you're feeling much better after you've puked and gotten rid of it. Your husband could have just had a stronger stomach when it came to the chicken. </p> <p>As far as breastfeeding I'm not sure. I would think it would be okay since you didn't have a bug or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-needed-stat#post-1206630 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:14:54 +0000 swedishfish 1206630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My abdomen began hurting yesterday afternoon...the only way to describe it is as if I didn't drink enough water during the day. Those are the only times it's hurt so badly before.</p> <p>It went away and then came back during dinner. I threw up several times and then my back went out. DH had to come home early from work because I was so sick I couldn't move.</p> <p>I thought it was from the chicken we ate for lunch but DH is fine. Do you think it's safe to breast feed LO this morning? Or should I pump and dump? I'm feeling much better. </p>
