Baby and I are both sick
My 11.5mo old and I are both sick. It started with me having diarrhea for a couple days, not thinking anything of it. Then her vomiting 5 times over the course of 24 hours which led me to take her in - they said stomach bug. Then I just woke up in the middle of the night to have more diarrhea and projectile vomiting. I feel like absolute crap. Thankfully my baby seems to be doing better, fingers crossed. 🥲 I'm just so afraid of this affecting our journey. I think I'm already a bit dehydrated to begin with so I'm really going to push fluids and will be getting pedialyte for both of us later just to be safe. Any other tips, suggestions or tricks I should know about when BF while sick or just in general being sick with a sick baby? We've had a couple very minor colds over the winter but this is our first big illness together.
