Gastroenteritus
Well after 7 days of my 3yr old being Ill with it, M has now caught it! She was sick so much last night, i sat up all night just watching her incase she was sick and choked on it. I managed to get some water into her which stayed down and her nappies are wet (not AS wet as usual but still wet)
She is weaned on three meals a day and three bottles, but so far has taken 2 bottles before 10am, should i ofer she solids today? Or just stick to the milk as atm it seems to be staying down. Im thinking of just trying a small yoghurt at dinner.
Its so worrying as shes still so young, but im just not sure what i should be offering, i know i need to keep her fluids up but will solids irritate her tummy? My dd was unable to keep anything down on the first day xx

We also gave him dioralyte. If you go to the doctors they will give it you on prescription to stop her getting dehydrated.
Hope she is feeling better soon!!

From what I remember they were not fussed with the solids but I was to keep offering small amounts but to mainly make sure he was getting water and if possible milk down. Had a nightmare after as he went off milk and it took nearly 5 months or about to get him to take any again.
Hope it passes soon and make sure you take care of yourself as well if possible.
Get well soon M! xxx
she had mostly milk yesterday and today ive given solids again, she's still smiling through it too bless her! xx
