Help!!! Tummy bug since boxing day

[sassie23]

Please give me advice 13 month old still vomiting after contracting tummy bug from big bro on boxing day. He's been sick. about 4 times today last just before bed there now he's obviously starving in between times and screams with it. He's been drinking diorylite and he's not dehydrated but don't know what to do if he wakes this evening with hunger pains do I starve him and just give fluids or give him a little bread to settle his tum a big aaaargh at wits end ....... Help please

We give a diet suggested by a paediatrician after extended bugs in ds1. Rich tea biscuits, bread and honey no butter, banana with the middle black bit cut out. Just small portions, little and often. Offer, let him eat if hungry, don't encourage him if not. Hope he's better soon.

Well whether its right or wrong I've always given my dc's food during a bug, especially if they want to eat.

I would stick to bland foods though and try more fluids than anything else.

Hope your little ones better soon

Thanks mama he was taking the dry biscuits but then refused gave him some sweet bread today that worked til DH gave him a bit of mash at dinner came straight back out ....

Yeah, you got to keep food really plain for a while. Everything inside is a bit raw. White bread, biscuits are easy to digest, avoid fats, salt, etc. If he was only sick once today you may be at the tail end? :hopeful:

He slept al night had some bread and s drink straight back to bread we shall see ....
