The boy's sleep pattern is completely messed up. He fell asleep at 7pm last night, woke and fell back asleep at 8pm, then got up at 9pm.
I gave him some breast milk but he threw up all over me. We called HealthLink to talk to a nurse. She suggested holding off giving him anything for an hour, then giving him one ounce of pedialyte or juice every 20 minutes. If he tolerates it, increase the amount to two ounces. Then move onto broths, etc.
Daddy was up with Isaac last night (at around 2-3am). Isaac slept with us and didn't throw up overnight. This morning, Isaac seems to have more energy than yesterday.
So far he has been taking sips of orange juice and apple juice. Now he's trying to cram fish crackers into his mouth. I hope he doesn't overdo it. I'd better take them away. I took him outside for a bit this morning.
Isaac had a long 3 hour nap from 12:30pm to 3:30pm.
The BRAT diet is usually recommended after food poisoning: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast.
ReplyDeleteI think he needs to avoid milk and any unclear liquids for a bit longer, because those tend to upset an already upset tummy.
Poor boy!
