If you cant get to the doc then go to the hospital.

Sounds a lot like the rotavirus that my daughter had last year. Get her to the hospital immediately as dehydration is very dangerous at this age. They gave my daughter a suppository that stopped the vomiting and fortunately we were able to avoid having to put her on an IV, but had she thrown up even 1 more time that was going to be the next step.
Good luck to you and your little one!

So how many times did you feed her? She may be able to use her milk thinned down providing she drink it all.
Just 1 ounce of water.
gas is the most general problem of a growing baby.
I had so many samples of different formula I could not wait to use each and every one. But it is like dog food. don't change it or you will be also changing the digestive system.
our son suffered from being able to eliminate.... I investigated all the alternatives and decided on a natural alternative. So we used Karo syrup to help our son use his bowels............
Our son appears to be diabetic and obese as of now. so check with your Dr. before deciding on how this may affect your child..... I tried one drug store thing and it was to relax the bowel of our baby.... It ended up I had knocked him out for about 9 hours... I thought oh what did I do? This is an acceptable product. But I can not recommend it.

Your baby probably has acid reflux. You should take her temperature, (rectally is most accurate) and call her doctor. ( If she dosen't have a doctor, then yes take her to the ER.) Dehydration is a very dangerous thing. Also, have you switched formulas recently? If so, that may be the cause. Even switching within the brand can cause vomiting if she is allergic.

My advice would be to take your daughter to a doctor- you can never be too cautious with such small children.
My daughter was ill for few days with similar symptoms when she was 4 months old- the doc reassured me nothing major was wrong and gave me advice on how to make her more comfortable and to keep her hydrated.

I would take her to the hospital, she could have acid reflux most babies with it has to be sat up for about 30-45 mins after feeding, that is how a friend of mine baby was. but still go to the doctor to make sure. good luck

I would definitely take her to see a doctor. I am not sure if it warrants going to the hospital but get in to see your family doctor for sure.
Cheers
EDIT: I forgot to say - take her temperature! When you call the doctor to get in, tell them her temperature.. it'll help. If you can't get in right away, tylenol helps with bringing down her fever, and you might want to give her a tempid bath (not as warm as usual) to bring down her temp until you get in to see a doc

Call your pediatrician's office and ask to talk to the nurse, she'll tell you if she can wait to see the doctor or if you need to go to the hospital right away. I would try to go see the Pediatrician as soon as possible if I were you.

Does she have a doctor? If so, call her Dr. with your concerns RIGHT NOW. He/She will either tell you to take her to the ER or to bring her in. If not, take her to the ER now. Make her drink-she needs to stay hydrated.
