    When unwell maybe try giving wholemeal pasta over white. It's easier to digest. Rice pasta as well isn't as heavy. I found both of those easier on my tummy when i has bad morning sickness with DD and I was less likely to bring the lot up.

    Just fluids are fine until the vomiting stops, unless they want to eat. We can last a long without food and not eating can avoid more vomiting.

    Lemonade and ORS are great.
    Then dry crackers are good like you did.

    Hope all is well tomorrow

    My Gp suggested that we try banana, rice and yoghurt - apparently the yoghurt aids the recovery of the stomach (even tho it is dairy) and banana helps the electrolyte balance after being so ill. Hope everyone is ok.

    I usually give rice cooked in stock and leave it a bit liquidy and the some jelly (or the baby fruit gels). I would also get some hydrolyte icypoles to keep in the freezer for when these things happen.

    Thanks again! I have bought some hydrolyte icypoles to keep on hand if it happens again! I made a risotto for dinner the next night and he ate a little bit but I didn't force it on him!
    He seems back to his old self today and yesterday was much better too. Doesn't seem to have a very big appetite atm so maybe it has knocked him around a bit! Am serving him up vegies tonight disguised with cheese and tomato sauce (his 2 favorite things)
    Thank goodness it didn't go thru the whole family! that would of been a nightmare!!!

    try giving him plain toast, cooked pear or apple. flat lemonade is also supposed to be good for an upset tum, good luck!
