Is it allowed to give Yo Baby yogurt in a small child who has stomach flu? He hates yogurt ... Also, he asks for milk ...... he has thrown twice in two days .... I dont milk givem him since. What should I do?
If cough mucus and milk products are just going to do is worse. If he has no cough, then all the food you can get in it will be beneficial. It is probably difficult to make him eat anything. Give him a vitamin and a lot of water. Maybe try a smoothie. My kids like it when they are sick.
When my daughter had the flu, the doctor told us that when babies or young children get the flu, they become temporarily lactose intolerant. We were told to avoid dairy products for 12-24 hours after the last time she had diarrhea or vomiting. Try the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, applesauce and toast.
