McKenna updated fans throughout her entire pregnancy, and Megan has continued to do so after her baby son was born in October last year.
Now, she has revealed she had to dash to the hospital with her tot when the five-month-old become unwell.
It also comes after she herself had to go in for medical attention when she suffered a serious allergic reaction while pregnant.
The star posted a photo of Landon in a cot in hospital and explained to followers: “One thing I’m learning about being a mum, always trust your gut.
“I was told to stop Landon’s Omeprazole by his paediatrician. This made me feel really uncomfortable and I begged to get him on it in the first place due to him having terrible reflux for six weeks.
“He finally has got himself to a good place after being on a baby Omep for four months. I begged to get more but was told he needs to stop now. Because I was told to stop when I really didn’t want to, I’m now sitting on a baby ward after being in A&E all night because Landon has got gradually worse throwing up so much, it was scary.”
