Do you take a vomiting toddler to the dr?

Hope she's feeling better soon, hun. What a wonderful Mummy to take care of her poor sick bubba so well! I used pawpaw ointment on DD's bottom when it got really nasty, I even used it when trying to wipe as it tends to lubricate the area so it doesn't hurt. It sounds like the bug is making its exit out the other end now. Keep up with what you're doing and keep a close eye on her. I hope she's better soon.

She is doing really well now, kept everything down today, had a huge 3 hour sleep, we had a lovely cool relaxing bath to sooth her bum, and she's seeming a lot better. It seems to hurt her a bit but I think she's past the vomiting thank goodness!!!

Thank you everyone! This was my very first gastro bug as a mummy, hmm not fun!!! But just glad I am still breastfeeding because it was a struggle to get anything other then BM into her!

It definitely sounds like she's over the worst of it, the poor little thing. It takes so much out of them.

I'm glad the BM has done the trick

Lots of good advice in this thread, Leash. And I agree, breast milk is superior to gastrolyte or pedialyte in every way.

Thank you everyone, she is definitely better now...

Unfortunately, this mummy went down for the count last night... BLEH YUCK! Where's my breast milk rehydrator? LOL! I could have used it, it is a NASTY virus so hope my baby girl didn't feel like I felt last night...

You could have some if you really wanted to Leash...

LOL do you think it would defeat the purpose though? Expressing for myself, wouldn't it just dehydrate myself more by expressing it out? LOL, honestly if I had of thought it would be good, I'd have done it!
