Just make sure that your child is taking enough fluids. It will help him to keep away from Diarrhea. If your child is having mild vomiting then the chances of dehydration become less. But in case your child is vomiting more than 7 to 8 times then definitely he has dehydration.

To keep him away from dehydration, you can give him ORS or homemade salty water. Start giving him small sips and in case your child again vomits then wait for half an hour and then give the fluids. But don’t stop giving him fluids because his body needs the calories again which he had lost due to vomit.

Please remember that too much fluid intake can again cause vomiting. Therefore give the fluid to your kids in small quantities.

After the baby’s health is getting better start giving him light and easy-to-digest food like khichdi, crackers, toast, broths, mild soups, mashed potatoes & cereal, etc, avoid giving them high-fiber foods. As soon as your baby is back to the normal routine you can start his normal daily diet.
