| give him little and often. no food.. im not sure yoghurts good?? wont that curdle in his tummy? found this GETTING THROUGH THE NIGHTThe first thing to remember is DON'T PANIC. Vomiting is usually not dangerous and only rarely results in significant dehydration. Keep in mind it usually takes at least 12 hours of severe vomiting to make a child significantly dehydrated. These guidelines should help you get your child through the vomiting stage of his illness:
- First stage – severe vomiting every 5 – 30 minutes.
- During this time, do not attempt to give your child any food or liquids at all because they will just come right back up. This is called total bowel rest. Let the worst of the vomiting pass.
- If your child asks to nurse or drink something, then just offer small sips at a time, and don't expect him to keep it down.
Second stage – the vomiting has started to slow down to every one or two hours. Go ahead and offer your child small sips of liquids every 5 or 10 minutes. Here are the three best liquids to try: Oral electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte has the best balance of salt, sugar, and other electrolytes Frozen popsickle or slushy made from an electrolyte solution Breastmilk is excellent for the nursing baby A few other suggestions until you can get an electrolyte solution: White grape juice or slushy slightly diluted with water. Gatorade or similar drink Again, these are not as ideal, and should be replaced with Pedialyte when possible. Liquids NOT to give – apple, pear, and cherry juice may have too much sugar. This can worsen diarrhea and dehydration. Third stage – vomiting is now only 2 – 4 times a day or stopped altogether. It is now okay to try some foods. Bland foods such as crackers, toast, soup broth, etc. Continue breastfeeding. Restart formula if formula feeding. You can mix half formula and half Pedialyte at first. This may be more easily tolerated. Continue liquids as described above. Don't be alarmed if your child throws up this food. It may be too soon to start feeding again. Just take a step back to the second stage until the vomiting calms down again.
