Is she dehydrated?

DD (8 months) has a stomach bug. I’m worried she’s dehydrated but DH says to wait and see how she is in the morning.

She’s had today:
7oz of milk. Most of which was thrown up
Brioche
2.5oz milk at about 11
2.5oz milk at about 3
3.5oz at about 8
Just under an oz at 11pm

She’s had about 100ml of water today. Maybe 150ml.

I think she may have had another 2.5 oz in between but I can’t remember!

I tried giving her some lasagne for dinner and she had a spoonful.

She’s not been sick since about lunch but she’s been really tired and lethargic all day. She’s slept
Most of today.

The first time I changed her nappy it was dry but she’s wee’d at least twice since.

She’s just been so sleepy and hasn’t had any energy. I don’t know if that’s because of the bug or dehydration. Will she be ok overnight?

I’ve tried Dr Google but the only indicator that she might be is that she’s lethargic but I didn’t know if that was because of the bug or if she is actually dehydrated.

She'll be fine, the lethargy is most likely the bug taking its toll. If she's stopped vomiting now then keep encouraging her to have sips of water little and often.

Thank you!

I just jinxed it as she has just thrown up again although she’s drank about 0.5 - 1oz milk and fallen asleep
