stomach bug advice?

My 2 year old woke up with a tummy bug yesterday - had a long day but went to bed at 7:30. He slept through the night so can i give him water and saltines? thanks in advance for any advice.

Of course give him water.  See what he's hungry for.  Kids bounce back from these things faster than adults so he may want something more than saltines.  I would just give him very small portions all day of anything he eats.

Thank you I really really appreciate your reply.  He has been sipping on pedialyte and  had some crackers and pretzels for now - we will see how he does.  Did see a bit of dried vomit in his crib when I went in to grab something earlier so I guess he did get sick - but we are right next to him and we had a monitor so he must not have felt bad bc every cough and noise he made last night i jumped up to check on him... so I think he was sick early in the night bc it was totally dried up. Gross.. I know. but hopefully on the up and up - I am praying so! this stuff is NO fun for anyone
