My poor baby has a tummy bug and she is vomiting badly Should I keep offering her water even though she's not holding it down?
btw she is 14 months
Any advice is appreciated... thnx PJ
Offer her pedialyte. When DS got a bug like that the same age, I first tried water and then lemon lime soda and he managed to keep the soda down, but hurled with the water. Sips of pedialyte. I even got out a baby bottle and would sleep feed him a few sips in the middle of the night so he wouldn't get dehydrated. And if she's starting to feel better, don't make the mistake I made a let her eat too soon. I had mac & cheese down my back. bleah!
Thanks for your quick reply I've sent dh out to get some 7up from the corner shop (doubt they'll have pedialyte) She's just crashed out on me but keeps heaving Man I hope this doesn't last too long.. we are travelling 10hours on a plane Monday eek!
It's normally a 24 hour bug at most. Hang in there, sorry your poor honey is feeling bad. Wash your hands a ton, you dont' want to be barfing on the plane yourself!
Don't offer water, plain water is very upsetting to the stomach. This goes for anyone, babies to adults. Clear fluids are best. Apple juice, white grape, 7-up, Sprite, Sierra Mist. You can feed it by the teaspoon, right off the spoon, every 15 minutes. Often, they can keep that tiny bit down.
Thanks Touch wood... she hasn't been sick since about 11:30 this morning, she's still having bad nappies though and has slept most of the day. I just gave her some Farleys cereal mixed with water and she seems to be keeping it down Fingers crossed me and dh aren't next!!
