Please can I have some advice

15 month old DD was sick earlier. Seemed to have come from nowhere! She was absolutely fine before that. Both me and DH have been feeling rough most of the week but with coldy symptoms. She has had a runny nose but otherwise been ok.

Girls at nursery said she had a good day and looking at the book they fill in she ate well (all foods she's had before).

Am not looking for a reason as to why she was sick as of course acknowledge it could be a bit of a bug or maybe simply a bit of bacteria in something she ate. There's just no way of knowing.

All I want to know is on the assumption she sleeps through ok with no more 'incidents' (she is currently sleeping now) then what should I do tomorrow in terms of food/milk?

I know for me if I've been sick I don't really wanna eat, especially if it's a bug. But if she doesn't eat that also can't be good?!?

Thanks in advance.

The BRAT (Banana, Rice, Apple, Toast) diet is supposed to be helpful after a stomach upset, as apparently they're all foods that are very gentle and rebalancing on the tummy. Wishing you a peaceful night ahead and hope your DD is better tomorrow

Thank you

BRAT is supposed to be outdated now. Just give her what she asks for (as long as it's not endless sweets and ice cream or something like that.) Just milk is fine, mostly milk with little bits of food or she might want to eat normally. The most important thing is to keep fluids up so keep her drinking, whether that's milk, water, squash, whatever.

They're OK without food for a couple of days if they are feeling under the weather.

Thank you. Not easy when they can't tell you what they do/don't want. Be so much better when she can talk!

Oh yes, there is that :) Well I'd stick to offering fluids first, then if she still seems hungry some bland food and only offer more flavourful stuff if she seems unsatisfied. I find they are pretty good at letting you know when they want something else, even if they can't talk (If she's anything like DS was, though, she'll go all newborny on you and want milk and cuddles all day, which was surprisingly nice.)
