[blparent] solids after digestive trouble

[trishs]

Ask your Dr.  if the BRAT diet is appropriate right now.  
Bananas, applesauce, rice, and toast.

>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.
