"bad" milk causing vomiting?
My 5 month old had an episode of violent vomiting at daycare yesterday.
They said she ate normally, took a nap and when the caregiver picked her up she vomited three times in rapid succession, and it sounds like it might have been projectile vomiting. She came home, took an extra long nap (45 min instead of 20min) and has been fine ever since, eating normally, not fussing, etc. I'm wondering if maybe the frozen milk daycare used that day had gone bad (it's stored in a dorm style refrigerator with little freezer tray) . I rotate through the frozen bags, but I wonder if one didn't get left in there for a few weeks or more. Anyone know if a baby would drink "bad" milk (wouldn't it taste awful?), and if she did, would it result in short lived but violent vomiting? Thanks! Amy |

I've no idea how it happened, but I remember giving my 1st duaghter a cup of cow's milk, she was about 14 months or so (this was years ago, so I can't remember exactly how old she was). She drank it, and did a sort of "yuck shiver", we encouraged her to drink more, she drank some more and did another "yuck shiver" ... strange we thought ..... I checked the cup, it was *grossly sour milk* .... YIKES .... I felt so awful ... she wasn't sick though. You'd think she'd have done more than just "shiver", throw the cup or something, or push it away and shake her head, she didn't. It's a really strong memory, and I still can't believe she drank the stuff without actually complaining is some way. |

It's like they expect it will taste differently this time, or this time, or maybe *this* time. Marie |

Heck, we sometimes don't notice that the milk we pour onto YoungBloke's cornflakes is off but he still eats them! He also happily drank my milk despite it not storing at all well (lipase issues) and tasting like soap. I couldn't stand the taste but he drank 200mls a day at nursery no trouble! Whether it was that that caused the vomiting or something else, I don't know. Sometimes stomach bugs can go around a nursery at breakneck speed, and go through the children equally quickly. -- Linz YB: 2 years, 11.5kg, 83cm, still breastfed. |
