If your baby vomits twice, continue breast- feeding but nurse on only one side for 10 minutes every 1 to 2 hours. If your baby vomits three or more times, nurse for 4 to 5 minutes every 30 to 60 minutes. As soon as 8 hours have passed without vomiting, return to normal nursing on both sides. Pedialyte and Kao Lectrolyte are rarely needed for breast-fed babies. Medicines Do not give your child any medicines by mouth for 8 hours.
Oral medicines can irritate the stomach and make vomiting worse.
Call your physician if your child needs to continue taking a prescription medicine. Common mistakes in the treatment of vomiting A common error is to give as much clear fluid as your child wants rather than gradually increasing the amount. This almost always leads to continued vomiting. There is no effective drug or suppository for vomiting. Diet therapy is the answer.
