Hi there, my 12mth DS has gastric flu/a stomach bug. Symptoms are vomiting and diarrhoea. I'm still bf but confused over whether to give DS dioralyte solution in addition to bf and how often. I was given this by the doctor but because DS was not exhibiting many symptoms at the time, the instructions were vague and unclear. I've tried giving him the solution in a cup (rejected most times) and via 5ml syringe (Violent refusal).do i persevere with the solution or just stick to bf?He's now vomiting 1-2hrs after a bf. Also wondering whether to feed DS solids-do I offer food at the usual three meals, ie breakfast, lunchtime, teatime...many thanks!
