What do I do in terms of feeding? He is on Neocate 6oz 5 times a day, I gave him his 10.30pm bottle last night which he threw up, it seems he was sick in the night but didn't care - I had the monitor by my head and didn't hear a thing even though I was awake, he threw up his 7am bottle, got 2oz of water into him at about 10am which didn't come back up again, he wanted the 11am bottle but promptly threw up the entire 6oz 20 mins later. He is now sleeping. Do I continue to feed him and clean up puke or do i just not feed him?

He is DS3 and DS1 was sick all night, and DS2 was sick on Wed last week and our aupair was sick last night too - so clearly a horrid bug. DS2 only puked for an hour or so in the middle of wednesday night, ds1 puked from 7pm last night to 6.30am this morning, but DS3 puked at 10.30pm and is still going but only after he has eaten - is this normal? Neither of the other two ever had tummy bugs at this stage so I don't know what to do! I am in hell - please help and advice?

My DS is 7 mo and also has had a horrible tummy bug which he consequently gave to me and my DP! We took him to doctors on Friday and he advised us to just keep him hydrated with small amounts of water and baby juice to keep sugars up also! He started being sick on Thursday night and we just gave him liquids all day Friday which he mostly kept down then tried him with a bottle on Fri night which he promptly threw back up, again kept him on liquids on Saturday and gave him some proper food on Sat night which he kept down so we thought we were home and dry!!! Not so he threw up his bottle again this morning! He has really horrid nappies too and if this is similar to what you are going through apparantly there is a lot of it doing the rounds (viral infection)! Hope this helps somewhat! Hope DC's are better soon!
