What to do when a 1 year old vomits up clear jelly like substance?

Hello!

I’m babysitting a 1 year old. The baby threw up some clear like substance and when I changed her and took her a bath I saw that she has a bad diaper rash and also some red welts on her belly . I don’t know what to do because this has never happened to my baby before. Should I call the parents?

Yes, rashes can turn nasty very quickly. And if in doubt call the parents and then nurse on call etc, if you are unable to get onto the parents

Hoping you did call and everything was fine. But yes. I’d always call them. Better safe than sorry.

If you ever notice anything out of the ordinary, especially when it’s someone elses child you should always mention it to the parents just to be safe 🙂

What was the outcome I am wondering?
Hopefully you contacted the parents at the time and they sought medical advice.

Whoa! A thousand percent call the parents and probably even call the ambulance to see if they need to be rushed to hospital as that doesn’t sound good at all.

Yes I would contact the parents on any form of vomiting and describe what you have observed. Jelly like clear substance could be mucus

Yes, absolutely. I’ve never heard of a kid throwing up a jelly like substance. If it was your own kid, I”d be saying go to a doctor with some urgency.
