Sickness bug

My little girl has been throwing up since Friday 😩 we were at the doctors yesterday and he wasn't concerned said she's not dehydrated just keep giving her small amounts of food and plenty of drinks throughout the day, he told me not to give her milk for a few days but she's literally screaming for milk, I really thought she would be over this by now has anyone else's little one had sickness for this long and what did you do?

I would have been the other way. My daughter when she was poorly wanted milk but no food so I listened to her cues and acted accordingly. Maybe bland food might help

We’ve been having the same type of thing but with a bad cold too and the doctor told me yesteray to continue with milk as she might want it over food but to give smaller amounts more frequently. Say instead of 6oz do 2ox 3 times. My little one has had it for a week and has been sick a lot! They said it tends to last 7-14 days. Hope she’s better soon ❤️

My baby had this last week, was being sick for about 5 days, the rest of us all caught the same thing too 😓 I was recommended to dilute her milk (if formula) and to not give much dairy because it’s hard for them to digest. Must be a lot of bugs going around bless them, hope your little one feels better soon x

My son had this about 2/3 weeks ago and was poorly for 10 days in the end and we had to take him to A&E because he was keeping nothing down. They told us a bug and to give Dioralyte if they're keeping absolutely nothing down and having the runs to try and get fluids and salts back up. They told us no food for the time being unless it's dry and bland things like crackers etc and to keep offering smaller milk feeds. They said it's pretty bad in babies and children at the moment and one nurse told me her son has not long had it for 2 weeks! Hope they're better soon xx
