Suggestions for how to keep a 15-mo old hydrated - he's vomiting up everything - has been for the last two hours (even 1cc of water is inducing vomiting)? He's already only 3rd percentile for weight, so I know he's at increased risk for dehydration, etc. Would you wait awhile and try again, or keep trying drops at a time?
Ideas?
Re: Help - keeping vomitting baby hydrated
Definitely call the pedi. When K was a baby we had to give her a few drops of pedialyte every 10-20 minutes. But that was 9 years ago so maybe the advice has changed!
Hope he's better soon!
I would call.
I remember when Sam was that age and vomitting like that. They said to not give anything until he had not thrown up for a few hours and then just to give a few tablespoons every 15 minutes.
I hope he's better soon!
Thanks, ladies!
Since I posted I've managed to get (and keep in) 4ccs of water... hopefully we're heading in the right direction now. He's soooo thirsty, he's crying for water, but I don't dare up the volume yet.
Hate when the little ones get sick
