I always offer more bfs after the vomitting has passed too, while her little tummy is still sensitive from its 'upheaval' that tends to help soothe it. FWIW my DD has had about three vomitting episodes in her whole life and frequent bfs always cured it before bedtime.
You have been given some great advice and it sounds like she is on the mend.
We had a gastro bug a mnth or so ago and it started just like you described the really awful nappies and then the vomiting, he the vomiting for about 24 hrs (the first 5 were the worst) and runny poos for about 2/3 days. When he started back on 'normal' food he didn't eat as much and I just let him have free access to boob (we were down to 2 feeds through the day).
He also slept alot more then normal for example he started to have 2 sleeps again and they were long sleeps where as normal is 1 afternoon nap. He definitely wasn't as active but I wouldn't class it as lethargy as such. If it had gone on for much longer I probably would have taken him to the dr just to check his hydration levels.
I'm the same as you Jen with all of mine I do the BB thing as much as possible. I personally wouldn't give such a small child paedalite if I could help it...
