It's tough when your little ones are sick with gastro. My DS1 got a really nasty dose when he was 7 months, and they're just so helplessly sad. With regards to not having milk - you will still have plenty left for him if you do pump, your breasts are never really empty, plus they're really good at making more on the run. So I'd feed him whenever he wants it, because even if he only holds it down for a few minutes it will be still getting something good into his tummy, and it's gentle on his stomach. And he will need the fluid. Just don't feed near soft furnishings for a while Also, the poo can come later, and it will probably stink. It's also still contagious, so be really vigilant at hand washing. But also don't be afraid to go to the dr - little ones can deteriorate quickly without fluids, better to be safe than sorry.
