Poorly dd need advice pls xx

[2littlemonkeys]

I have a 22mth dd and she started vomiting tea time yest.My dh and myself always have diff views on parenting, he was telling me to keep giving her fluids but i thought that you dont give them anything(pls correct me if wrong).
She is ok in herself just very quiet, no temp, or runny bum.
So the question is do i give her somthing to eat or not?
Thanks ladies x

so you weren't going to give her any fluids?

give her fluids.
definitely give her fluids.

If she is throwing up, it will be really easy for her to become dehydrated, you need to keep those fluids up by making sure she has plenty to drink.

Even if she brings it straight back up again, she has got some fluids in her.

As for food... see how she feels - if she wants to eat, let her (but nothing too rich, toast or a sandwich) but if she's not hungry, don't push it.

Sorry, your husband is right on this one.

Hope she feels better soon.

you should give her fluids,
and whatever she fancies.
it used to be starve them but looking at nhs direct recently, it isnt any more.
just no dairy products - i believe -

Yes, fluids, no to eating unless she wants to. When was she last sick?

Thanks, she has been having water, but no food since tea time yest and she hasent been sick since about 12 midnight.

I new my dh would be right, he always is lol

Give her fluids, but little and often rather than one big gulp. When she's ready for food again, start her on a little, mild food such as toast and butter. Friends who are GPs say too much dairy can irritate tummy upsets.
Hope she's feeling better soon.

The current advice is not to starve, just give them what they want. that being said I try to give plain/dry things and no dairy until they aren't vomitting anymore.

You can always check these things out on NHS Direct if you need answers fast.
