6 week old vomiting bug

I have passed on my vomiting bug to my 5 week 5 day baby. He's given expressed milk during the day and formula overnight. He dosen't breastfeed.
It's currently 2am where I live and I'm really worried about dehydration as he vomits everything up within minuets of it going down. I've tried small volumes slowly but nope.
I'm aware of dehydration symptoms to look out for but I'm just so anxious because he's so young.
I'm not sure what I'm even looking for by posting. I guess to see if anyone has words of wisdom for getting fluids in a newborn without instant vomiting 🤢
Thanks

Talk to a doctor/healthcare. Always do with concerns about such a young child.

Hope your kid feels better soon!

Ring 111 if you can't get through to the GP, really important to seek help with such a young baby even though they're amazingly resilient.

At that age I would be calling the doctor as babies dehydrate very quickly.
