TUMMY BUG - NOW NOT EATING!! HELP!
My 5 1/2 month old picked up a tummy bug from somewhere, I'm assuming nusrery, although he was only there for 1 day last week!!! Just bad luck maybe?! But was very sick on friday and saturday, then I got sick on saturday night/sunday, my mum came round to help cause we were in a right state and now she's got it!
Not good!
Any how, although Im still feeling a bit fragile, my LO is still refusing to eat. He was on around 800ml p/day + 3 good baby meals, now nothing!! Rejects his milk like Im trying to poison him!
what can I do. I get so worried when he won't eat, although I appreciate he's probably still not feeling right, he is so fractious, as if he is hungry but he just won't eat????
Is anyone in the same boat?? If there a horrible bug going around that I don't know about?? Please advise. Thank you!

can you get a doctors appointment? they can prescribe dioralyte that should stop your lo from getting dehydrated - we had to give it to my lo using a syringe but it helped.
try giving him lots of water to help flush out the bug and if you find a food he will eat give him lots of it!
have you called nhs direct?
once he gets over the bug his appitite will return!
