My LO was sent home from daycare today after he threw up. He threw up 3 more times in the car and multiple times since we’ve been home. This is the first time we’ve been through this so any tips/advice appreciated!

I’m in the same boat! My 18 month old has only been in daycare twice a week since October - I’m helping out my old job temporarily - and has gotten a lot of sicknesses for the first time ever. He woke up today throwing up and very bad poop, poor guy - would love any suggestions and hope your LO feels better soon too!



My little guy has had a stomach bug twice this year poor guy. The main things he was able to keep down was rice cereal mixed with applesauce and banana. Also I wouldn't let him have milk only water. If your lo will drink Pedialyte that's always good too. Both my kids hate every single one. Hope your little ones are feeling better soon!



Ugh - hang in there! We've been through it twice now and both times I got it too. The good news is that it typically passes within 48 hours with the worst of it in the beginning. My advice is to try to keep your little one as hydrated as possible. We gave my son teaspoons of Pedialyte every 10 minutes for an hour and that helped. Otherwise just keep them comfy and know that it will pass soon.

I got a fever and body aches both times that I got it so if your little one seems uncomfortable, they might have those same symptoms. Motrin helped me.
