Nursing points during nausea and vomiting
- Lay your child down sideways to avoid choking from the vomit.
- Give your child an electrolyte drink for babies little by little every 15-30 minutes.
* It is a good idea to keep a stock of electrolyte drink for infants at home. During dehydration, it can help to both rehydrate and replenish minerals.
- Put the vomit in a plastic bag and take it with you when you visit the hospital.
At the hospital, let your doctor know
- Vomiting started “from when” and “how many times”?
- Describe the characteristics of the vomit. (For example: it smells sour, resembles the smell of stool, like coffee residue, yellow or green vomit, etc.)
- How many times did you change your child’s diaper? Or how many times did your child urinate?
