so frustrated!
jonah has been sick for the past few days. he's been vomiting, has diarrhea and had a fever. he was really out of it for a couple of days but i think he's coming back to himself except the fact that he doesn't want to eat or drink anything. i'm very frustrated. i don't know what i should give him at this point. i tried everything - juice, water, soup, rice, water, smashed veggies, everything. every time i give him something to eat, he either pushes my hand away or he pushes out the food w/ his tongue or he looks away. i know he's hungry and i think he's dehydrated. his diapers haven't been as wet. i've called my doctor but he's not giving me that great of advice. man! does anybody have any advice for me?! i'm dying here.

Poor thing! Tyler had something similar last week. Have you tried pedialyte? I think they have an ice pop pedialyte too. I remember they told me to give that to Tyler at that age. Also, I think bananas are good.
The doctor told me when kids are sick, they don't want to eat...but if he doesn't have that many wet diapers, you should take him to the doctors or urgent care.
I know, you feel so helpless when they're that sick. Tyler was sick for about a good 5 days before I saw any signs of him getting better.
Keep us posted!
Btw, I won the money on the Wheel of Fortune slots!!!
yes, we have tried pedialyte and he definitely doesn't like it. we got the apple flavor one and everything. mary also suggested the pedialyte pops, too but i can't seem to find them in the stores in my area.
i got bananas for J but they're not rip yet. have to wait on that.
thanks, esther for the advice.
Grace,
have you tried gatorade? And how about just some regular juice popcycles?
I wouldn't force him to eat. He knows his stomach feels funny. I just let Caden eat cherrios for 2 days and gatorade.

no, i haven't tried gatorade. my dr suggested that but i don't think i want to give that to jonah yet. i think i read somewhere that you shouldn't give your kid gatorade at this early stage b/c of the sugar.
he doing much better now. still has diarrhea but no vomiting. he's eating bit more now. thank God.
glad to hear jonah is feeling better and eating more. it's ok if he doesn't eat as much when he's not feeling well; he'll make it up for lost times when he's back to normal. maybe try different kinda of soups and porridge with chicken broth? popsicle are good too; doesn't have to be pedialyte.
