[blparent] solids after digestive trouble

[Veronica Smith]

Hey, Jo elizabeth, have yu ever heard of the brat diet.  Bananas, rice
applesauce and toast (dry).  I believe the Dr, since there are so many
stomach viruses going around.  I don't believe vomiting is a side affect of
vaccinations.  Yes to the fever.  If her tummy is still uneasy, she probably
will only settle for the bottle and that will do until she is feeling
better.  Be patient. Smile! V

Subject: [blparent] solids after digestive trouble

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
