Indy has the rotavirus, probably. I’m on the phone with a nurse. So, I thought I’d write what the tips were.
Let him nurse for 4-5 minutes every 30-60 minutes.
Let him rest his stomach. Let him sleep.
If he continues to vomit give him some pedialite, a couple teaspoons every 5 minutes. Keep him hydrated every few minutes.
Then if there is no vomiting for 4 hours… go back to nursing
No vomiting for 8 hours… bland food: saltines, noodles, bananas, mashed potatos, rice.
Should have a wet diaper every few hours.
Inside of mouth should be moist and slippery.
He may get a diaper rash. Maybe put vaseline in diaper… or something like that.
He should be old enough for gatorade.
All right, I’m not a doctor. I don’t know anything. I just got this from a nurse. Do with it what you will.
