My 3-month-old son has been spitting up quite a bit the last day or so...could he have the flu?

Yeah, babies are humans so they will get sick. Make him eat plenty of veggies and foods. Give him the naps he needs and he'll be fine. The poor thing! I hopes he feels better soon.

it might not be the flu, but it could be a stomach virus. Did you have your baby vaccinated against the flu this year? More babies suffer complications from getting the flu. Its recommended by the National Institute of Health to have your baby vaccinated...while youre at it, you might want to get vaccinated too.

Babies do get the flu and it is usually very hard on the child.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely. And if a child under the age of 2 gets the flu it can be deadly for them. Please take your child to the doctor AND make sure EVERYONE in your household gets the flu shot!!!!!

Yes - there are many strains of cold / flu virus, so it is possible.

No, babies can't get the flu because they are superheros, unlike the rest of us mere mortals.

yes, i would take him to a doctor because sometimes these things get worse an a young child isnt as strong in some ways.

If you breast‐feed him and he doesn't have a fever,
Don't worry about it.
Mother's milk gain immunity against flu.
Did you burp him?
