Sickness

Hey, has anyone dealt with a baby sickness bug yet? My LO started projectile vomiting this evening (4 times all over me, delightful!) and just my luck, DH is working abroad so it is just me! She kept a milk feed down before bed. Crossing my fingers for a good night! What do I do re:feeding etc? Offer and go with what she wants, or stick to milk? As she has dropped so many milk feeds already, I'm hoping my body can produce enough milk to keeep her hydrated etc til she gets better!

  • Pedialite is good to keep her hydrated!! Maybe try water as well.my lo had some bug over weekend as well.but ours was just a fever which made him absolutely miserable all he did was cry and stay in my lap for 2days.this morning so far he's feeling better. Hopefully your lo will feel better soon!!!

  • Oh no! My dude had a barf bug in July. Not pretty. Since then, just fevers and congestion.

    I'd definitely continue to offer to nurse, more often then usual if she's interested. I'd also offer lots of water from a sippy cup for hydration. If she's still interested in solids, I'd keep offering but would keep it to simple things like bread, juicy pears, etc.

    Hopefully it passes quickly.
  • She is a lot better today, no throwing up since last night and she slept well. We have had a lazy day!
