We have all had a stomach bug, not too serious but my dd2 had diahorrea and sickness for about 24 hrs then seemed much better, then i started to give solids and diahorrea has come back. She is otherwise fine, maybe a bit of tummy pain as she is a bit irritable. But she also has her first tooth coming through so not sure if that is upsetting her too. Just wondered what others thought about whether to feed her solids or not. She is breastfeeding (but starting to bite with her new tooth

Would let her clear out the diahorrhea first, perhaps leave it another 24 hours. Then go really gently using ,say, rice made up with water or starchy food such as cereal. Our paediatrician recommended carrot as a bland and easily tolerated food to reintroduce. Breastfeeding in the meantime should be fine until she regains her appetite.

thanks, sounds like good advice, just worried as she seems hungry, but am going to give her just breastmilk for 24 hrs and see how she goes.
