Has anyone's lo had this bug?
Hi. James was sick after his lunch yesterday, and then after his tea and bedtime bottle. He has a dream feed, but I gave water instead, and he brought all that up too. He's fine in himself, has been a bit unsettled overnight, but he's teething. So is this one of the 48 hour bugs, and should I still try him with small amounts of food/milk? My advice to others is usually if they're still drinking, don't worry about food so much. But then have realised, trying him with either, is encouraging vomiting. ( He has atrocious nappies at the moment, but max has been 3 a day, and as I say he's teething. Right, back to debating what I do about breakfast, have already skipped 7am milk! Thanks for your help. xx

I think I would still offer water, and if he's fine in himself I would offer something really bland for breakfast too (dry toast perhaps? or banana?). Yes he might throw it up but it's important to keep his fluid intake up. Keep the amounts small as you're doing and hope for the best - I would just follow his lead, he'll let you know if he doesn't feel like eating no doubt
Poor little guy, I hope he gets better soon.

I tried dry toast at lunchtime, it came back a couple of hours later. ( xx
