What can I feed my pukey-boy?

to you Mama and your ds. I recommend the BRAT diet: Bananas Rice Applesauce Toast. These are foods that stick to your insides and help with both vomiting uke and diarrhea . I hope your little one feels better soon!

I guess stopping double and triple posts once they're started is about as hard as stopping puke that's started to come out!!!

don't worry about food.

give him little sips of watered down juice or flat ginger ale (ginger is soothing to the tummy). our son tends to suck down a lot at once with a straw, so we had to stop him after just a second or two when he was throwing up. offer sips every 10 minutes or so. if an hour or two or more passes before he throws up again, then he is probably staying hydrated enough. you can even offer the sips on a teaspoon so he knows only to have a little bit.

there has been a digestive virus going around our area here which our naturopath says has been taking 4-5 days to clear out totally. the pukeys only lasted a day and a half at our house, and then he started eating small amounts of food and drinking lots the next day and then eating and drinking normally the day after. the runny poops began the day he started eating again and lasted over 3 days. don't know if it's the same virus-type thing where you are, but just wanted to let you know about ours...

to you and your pukey boy, mama...
