Is it really possible to 'feed a bug' or is that just a myth?

DS has a bug. He vomits once every twenty four hours or so, and has done so since Saturday. In between times, he's OK - a bit lethargic coz he keeps throwing up a full day's food. By feeding him, are we really feeding the bug???

HTH!!

Thanks Floss. Really helpful. Will continue to feed him!

My DD is 11 months old and has the same thing. Has been vomiting since Fri night - horrible nappies too. I rang NHS direct who said to carry on offering regular food and milk even though lots comes back up. It's messy, but hopefully will end soon. Good luck !

That's consoling milllie - I was starting to get concerned because it's been a week now. And he's lost quite a bit of weight, which he can ill afford! Here's wishing them bth better.
