D&V - 17 Month Old

[karmagetsyou]

Ok so thankfully escaped with only 1x 4 Day episode when DS was 10mths

This morning it started D&V, DS now 17mths.

Do I cut all food & just give water?

Do I offer bland food & water?

What about milk? DS still has 2x 5oz bottles a day

Thank you & sorry for what seems stupid questions?

Ps ... What the hell gets the smell of sick out of the carpet?????

Follow his lead for food, some children will still eat but others won't. Bland foods are probably best - toast, bananas, raisins, etc.

The main thing is fluids, plenty of fluids. DD had D&V when she was small and she was refusing water so I was told to let her drink whatever she would drink (her usual milk) and to offer things like jelly, ice lollies, melon and watermelon slices, grapes, cucumber slices, orange slices - basically things with high water/liquid content.

For the carpet, baking soda works. Sprinkle it on, leave overnight and then hoover it up.

Spread a big towel on the floor next to his bed/cot and next to your bed, that way if he's sick over the side it will go on the towel rather than the carpet. Double sheet his bed too - a sheet, then a towel, then a sheet. If he's sick in the night just remove the dirty sheet and the towel and the bed is already made.

Thank you :) sound advice

Tried milk last night, he threw the lot up in extreme style

Will stick to fluids & bland food today.

Poor little toad

I cut out milk for a couple of days when DD gets a bug. It's the very last thing to be reintroduced because it's the one thing guaranteed to make her vomit.
Hope he's better soon.

Defo no milk today!

He's not eating anything :( only Ella's Pouch banana thing ....

Drinking lots of water thou..... tomorrow I think will be back to normal ... well as normal as his eating gets ....

Shit I have it now
