[blparent] solids after digestive trouble

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  Sarah had her one year vaccinations on Friday.  She'd done well with the previous shots, but this time she ran a fever, then started having diarrhea and vomiting.  She's been miserable all weekend.  The doctor's office speculates that she has a tummy bug and that her sickness has nothing to do with the vaccinations.  I'm not sure I believe that, but it's neither here nor there, I guess.  I was worried that Sarah would get dehydrated, so her dad and I forced her to drink a few ounces of a hydration liquid last night.  Finally, she's taken two bottles today and kept them down.  So my next question is, what solid foods would be best to try with her now?  I don't want her to start vomiting again.  She'd never gotten sick like that before, poor thing, and I have to say it was a bit of a shock how much one little baby could spurt out!  It's been stressful and exhausting for all of us, and I'd like to know how best to put it behind us as far as eating goes.

Thanks,
Jo Elizabeth
