    As long as he is getting fluids into him he should be OK. You will know if he is getting enough by the wetness of his nappies. Your breast milk has plenty of goodness in it to help him over the bug. Give him tiny amounts if he wants them but don't be too concerned if he is not that hungry.
    I know after I have had a tummy upset it can take a while to like food again.

    My DD is the same, she had the gastro bug a week and a half ago and is not showing much interest is solids now. She will have a couple of spoonfuls of rice cereal but I'm struggling to get veggies into her in the evening, she keeps gagging on them and spitting out.

    I've gone back to basics with her solids and am hoping that she will gradually get back to normal on that side of things. She is still taking her bottle so I'm not too fussed about the solids as I know that she is still getting everything she needs from her formula feeds.

    Hope your little man starts getting his appetite back soon.
