16mo bf sick, what to feed her?

[BaaBaa]

my 16 mo has had vomiting and very very fluid diarrhea for the last two days, she seems ok ish mood but not able to keep food down/in

so she is only able to nurse, which she does keep down.

should i keep offering solids? if so what?

And what im really worried about, doe she need Pedialyte or something like that? Juice? Something to stay hydrated or is mama's milk enough?

Breastmilk is a perfect option. As long as she is keeping it down I don't think it would be necessary to offer anything else.

Breastmilk is absorbed really well - perfect to keep baby hydrated. The WHO recommends using it for rehydration, and if baby refuses to nurse, they recommend expressing milk and spoon or cup feeding.

Hope your cutie is feeling better soon!
