Just to let you know, I have a wonderful 10 month son. He is a quite happy baby. He never cries unless he wants a bottle or a new diaper. But the past couple of days he has done nothing but cried. He won't eat much or drink. He has a feaver and he has been pucking. I took him to a walk in clinc but they didn't do anything. I feel helpless. I don't know if that is anything I can do for him. Can anybody give me some advice. Or do I need to take him to the ER?

It could be the flu... 10 months old I would say take him to the ER.. !! or call your physician. Make sure he is getting plenty of fluids, dehydration happens fast in babies. Go to the store and get Pedilite and keep forcing fluids. If your concerned as it sounds you are get to the ER. Several day of vomitting, with a fever for a baby is to long.

Welcome to FG 8301, you got some good advice here from the FG members. I'm with Carla, fever & volmitting will dehydrate anyone fast. Therefore, it is much more serious with babies. It would be very wise to seek profesional medical help!

I am curious about the Walk In Clinic. They must have said something to you.

What did they say about your son?

Step two - Use your mothering instincts and stop asking an entertainment medium for advice on CHILD MEDICAL CARE

Step three - Once you have executed steps one and two, you and your lovely little son will both be much better off.

On the whole good advice....but please note....FG is an entertainment medium, but it is also a LIFELINE for many people who come here for friendship and support.
