Blood in spit-up...very worried.

[Tiny Sue]

Naomi had her first taste of fruit today - just a tiny bit on the end of a spoon, but she liked it so I gave her a little more. It seemed to stay down. I gave her rice later with her evening bottle.

However, hours later, at the time of her night bottle when she wouldn't be getting solids at all, she spit up - and there was blood in the spit up - like small dark red streaks, not a lot.

I know that it can come from cracked nipples but I'm not breastfeeding. There is a possibility that I may have nicked her gum with a fingernail while trying to soothe her teething pains earlier. I honestly don't know if I'm panicking or not.

I think I'll wait and if she spits up blood again, bring her to A&E. She doesn't seem ill otherwise...

i phoned nhs yesterday about Har;ey being sick and they ask you loads of questions one of the questions was is there any blood in the sick????

Thanks girls, I went with my intuition and kept an eye on her...she is fine this morning, as she was lastnight, not behaving ill at all, and her spit-up (or sick, yes, Kim) is fine. I think I panicked a bit.

I can't ring NHS direct, I'm afraid Dionne, as I'm in Ireland. Thanks for the tip though.
