Eat ice chips and popsicles ans take small sips of Coke (not Pepsi), ginger ale, or Gatorade. When I got really sick once, nurse-on-call told me to do that and to not eat solids as it would only make things worse. Apparently coke and ginger ale have some medicinal quality that calms the belly and Gatorade will help restore your electrolyte balance.

hey i hope your feeling better, i know that flat coke mixed with water is really good to kep down as its a hangover remedy, i would keep eating, try dry toast and soup if you can bear it, if you can stil eat id go to the docs, as it only takes 6 hours for the b___stmilk to get week and the last thing you need is a hungry fussy baby when your lll, lucozade is good too, get well soon

P.S. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Thank you. I feel even worse now, this is the first time I've been able to get back on again. I live out in the country, so can't really get out for Coke and stuff (wish I could). The food idea sounds good, but I dry heave even at the thought (sorry TMI). I think I'll get my husband to drive to the store when he gets home.

When I was a kid and would get sick, my mom would make jello with double the usual water in it, as a beverage. It always stayed down.

CEM, try to keep fluids in, little sips at a time. I hope you feel better soon. The stomach flu is the worst. Keep us updated.

I am curious to. I always worry if I get sick or whatever. I strictly b___stfeed!!! If I have a bug or virus is it still OK to b___stfeed????

Hey,sorry to hear you are feeling c___ppy!!! It'is a couple hours later,how are you feeling now? BTW,check your e-mail.Talk to you later.

to keep yourself hydrated simply, mix a pinch of salt with a spoon of suger in a small bottle of warm water, that will stop you dehydrating and not make you feel so sick

CEM, sorry about the sickness...I felt the exact same way for two days a couple of weeks ago...I did drink coke and it helped a bit, this is after i did vomit for hours and had a fever...i could not eat anything but bits of crackers the first day and i do b___stfeed also. Dawn C, i read that it is okay to b___stfeed while sick b/c your child needs the antibodies your body produces while sick.

When I was a kid, my mom gave me peach syrup when I was nauseous and couldn't keep anything down and that always seemed to help me. At least it would hol me until I could get some nausea medicine in my system. I hope you get better soon!

Hi everyone.... Well, I got my husband to get me a coke which helped a little bit for an hour or two, long enough to eat a tiny bit of solid food and get the kids to bed. But now, I feel very cold again even though I've got 2 thick layers on and a huge comforter! Not sick enough to come on here again and check your great advice. I think I'll go drink some more water.

One more thing... my baby is very crabby and it seems like there's not enough milk for him :(. But to answer your question, Dawn C, not only is it fine to continue b___stfeeding but recommended. Your baby will get all your illness-fighting antibodies and get better quicker.

CEM sounds like everyone given you good advise already...I just wanted to say I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks monica! I hope I feel better soon too! Mind you, I can live with all the pampering I'm getting... and my lack of parental duties!
