Tips For Handling Baby's First Stomach Virus


Hey dears. Lets be honest part of parenting means taking care of our little ones no matter the circumstances. Recently bub's daycare had a virus go through the place. Now don't get me wrong, he did it from daycare, but once it happened daycare did everything in their power to stop it from spreading. The day after it hit employees & children, they shut down to do a massive wipe down. On this day off bub woke up around 3am vomiting & this happened about 2 other times that day. Then came the diarrhea. Now don't get me wrong, he didn't blow through 50 diapers or nothing massive, but when he did go it was loose (don't be grossed out, it's part of parenting).  Well he slept perfectly through the night & I thought it was all going well yesterday morning until he had his bottle.... Not even a full minute after he finished his bottle he blessed him & myself with all 5 ounces of it. Lets not forget the other two loose diapers he had that day also.

So here are my tips:
1. Milk bottles are not babies friend during this time.
2. Pedialyte will be your best friend.
3. So will puffs. 
4. Let baby have as much as they want, especially if they can hold it down.
5. It's ok if baby doesn't eat baby food either.
6. As long as baby is having multiple wet diapers, it's ok for baby to have only his juice (pedialyte).
7. Low grade fever is normal & baby will sleep a lot.
8. IT HAS TO RUN ITS COURSE, JUST KEEP BABY HYDRATED!!
