ava's been really sick this morning, not just a little bit but mounds and mounds so much she was gagging on it (sorry TMI) she's been off her food for a few days so I've just been giving her more milk, will milk upset her stomach more?, am i best just to give her water today?

poor thing i must admit when Gracie was / is sick i tend to stay away from deiry because it feeds the bug x

hope she is better soon xxxx also apologies for bad spelling i cant spell today

I would avoid the milk for a couple of days and keep her on water.

Milk will really upset her tummy if she has a bug.

Also keep her on foods like toast, applesauce, rice and bananas (BRAT diet) xx

Yeah milk is too heavy, I'd keep to water if she continues make doc appt, they might give some rehydration sachets.

Hope she feels better soon xx

Awww its awful when they are ill. Hope she is better soon. xx

When Tayla had a bug Laura told me about the BRAT diet and that really worked! (thanks Laura Hope she gets better soon x

Oooh whats the BRAT thing??

Hope Ava is feeling better soon

xx

'toast, applesauce, rice and bananas (BRAT diet)'

Oooh I will have to remember this!!

xx

yeah, keep it simple for a few days, you can get the rehydration sachets at any chemist - im sure you can buy them or get them for free on the minor ailments service http://www.boots.com/en/Dioralyte-Blackcurrant-6-Sachets_6229/

thanks for the replys, im going to stick with water today, she's been back asleep for hours now so hopefully that will do her good.

awww poor Ava Cerys was the same age when she had her first bug. We just gave her fluids, no milk (she just puked it back up). Add a bit of salt and bit of sugar to her water, that will replace any lost salts etc. Thats what my gp told me and he used to be a paedeatric doctor. Hugs for Ava xx

sophia had a similar bug about a week ago she couldnr even keep water down but little sips of water often and the BRAT diet 4 a day or 2 she should b fine but if she starts bringing up anything a strange colour bright yellow or bright green or has a rash get her to the docs asap but other than that no point goin 2 the docs unless it lasts for 3 or more days

Get well soon baby Ava

Wil and I also have the lurgy. Wil is drinking very weak juice and I have been adding tiny amounts of Dioralyte to it (he won't take a full Dioralyte because it is 'yucky' apparently) but mixed with juice he doesn't notice it.

Wil has been eating toast, popadums and pom bears - he is refusing other stuff (not like my little foodie)

We have stopped with the sickness and are now just on fairly regular runny nappies.

Going to attempt the BRAT diet when he wakes from his nap.

The BRAT diet really does work.

I found it online when Aimee was really ill last year with gastorentoritis (sp) and it is recommended by doctors.

She had a bad tummy for weeks after the sickness stopped, so I popped her on the BRAT diet and she had stopped having a bad belly within a couple of days.

cant do bananas but i'll try the rest, im waiting for the docs to phone me back, i might be over reacting but she's so pale and listless, im stressing myself out.

Oh no - it's awful to see them so ill. Hope she is better soon
xx

think everyone has said it hun but i hope she gets better soon xx (for ava)

Awww..poor Ava..get better soon darlin! xxx

took her to the docs and they've said its viral infection, just sad seeing her so docile instead of running around the place.

aww i hope she is feeling better really soon, it's good that you managed to get to the doctors though

Aww poor thing hope she's feeling better soon

awww poor ava xx
Hope she feels better very soon xx
