Infant feeding

dd3 who is 15 months was sick 6 times during the night and once this morning. She isn't managing to keep anything down except water. She even threw her calpol back up.

She is still breastfed and very attached to it. It is a big comfort for her. So she is wanting to feed more then usual as she is feeling grotty. But she cant keep it down. If I deny her the boob she will get very very upset so I have been giving it to her. But obviously it's not nice watching her be sick and getting upset about that.

Is it better/kinder to give her what she wants even though she will be sick. Or do I have to be cruel to be kind and not let her feed.

Thanx for your advice

Keep feeding her if she wants, it always looks more coming back up than it is so some will stay down and help.

Thankyou, my inclination was that I should let her feed. It's just not nice knowing that it will make her sick. dear of her.
