I have a friend who has a 16-month-old daughter who has started gagging up/throwing up everything she eats within a minute or two of eating it. Usually it comes up with a LOT of mucus too. This started happening a couple of times a day about a month ago, but my friend says it's getting worse and she hasn't kept anything at all down in a week. Around the same time (3-4 wks ago), she started getting rash outbreaks now and then, all over her body and face, ranging from just a few dots, to a raging rash at times. Fortunately, she still breastfeeds, and can keep her mama's milk down, so she hasn't lost any weight. She's gone from nursing a couple of times a day, to 10 times a day. Any thoughts or suggestions? Obviously she's concerned and wants to get this figured out!!! Thanks :-)

My first guess... an obstruction kids eat anything they can get down.

What color's the phlegm? Sounds like stomach heat. You could try peppermint tea. There are great points and herbs for this. The child is too young for needles, but could be treated.

I use medicos with caution, but this is one instance where I think it is justified. If it was just the throwing up one might assume the child was perhaps going through a stage where she might be purging foods she did not like, but with the rash, this makes it sound much more serious.

As much as the majority of us on here avoid allopathic doctors like the plague, they do have their shining moments when we need them; this sounds like just such a case. When my daughter had a rash, bruising, major nose-bleeding, you can bet I hoofed it to a doctor. My daughter's life was in serious jeopardy with a blood disorder that I would have no clue how to treat non-conventionally. And she could have died or had serious brain damage had I not taken her for treatment. Her life was truly in danger without allopathic help.

I also had a cousin who had a baby boy, roughly 10 years ago. She called me worried because her son was throwing up all of his formula and she thought he felt like he had lost weight within the week; he was about 2-3 weeks old. I suggested she change formulas (nursing was not an option for her), and when this did not stop the throwing up, my cousin took him to a pediatrician who put him immediately in the hospital as he had pyloric stenosis and would have died without the surgery.

If I were this mom I would take my child to the doctor to make sure the baby does not have something very serious. Babies age 16 months should be eating foods and not just mom's milk. That is why she is nursing so much, she is hungry! If the doctor rules out anything serious and the mom finds out that the baby has something she can treat at home, then she will have peace of mind. If the child does have something serious, then it needs to be looked into as quickly as possible.

This IS what MD's are good

for = Emergency Medical Situations.

Just remember that human tolerance is usually 10X's what we think it is.

While I agree that the sudden onset of throwing up everything consumed may warrent a trip to the DR. I must disagree with the statement made that 16 month olds should be eating food. Certainly they CAN be eating food, and most are. However, at 16 months, not all the enzymes for digestion have developed, especially those in the salivary glands for digesting grains. It is perfectly acceptable and even healthy for a 16 month old to be still almost completely nursed and get enough nutrition. I have personally had 2 of my 3 children still mostly nursed at this age and they are some of the least picky kids I know and some of the healthiest too...
