Anyone up? BF and sickness question

We are ill with a D&V bug. DD is 11 months old and has been sick as have I.

Is it still ok to feed her or should I just give water until we're better?

Thanks.

Can't help I'm afraid but might be worth phoning NHS direct??

No need to stop breast feeding her. She will find it a comfort and breast milk is easy to digest. Offer her little sips of water if she will take it, if she brings up a lot of her feeds.
Hope the bug passes quickly.

Keep feeding little and often. Advice for ff babies is to give dioralyte if they won't keep anything down but shouldn't be necessary for bf babies

Keep feeding, little and often as above. Hope you both feel better soon. :)
