does he have a fever? if not, he may just have a stomach bug. my daughter got these around the same age, and it was heartbreaking to see her vomit up everything I tried to feed her!
check with your doctor, but what worked for us was to give her pedialyte, and/or warm chicken broth. you can try crackers, but if they come up then stop.
usually it lasts a day, and your child will not starve in that time period. it was hard to deny my daughter food, when i knew she was hungry, but keeping her stomach empty was the best thing for her. for us, with this method, the vomiting never lasted more than a day.
good luck!

I have a 10 month old and I understand fully what you are going through. My son is also not eating properly I suppose he is teething. I suggest that you take your little one to the pediatrician they have a better idea as to whats ailing them. My little one had throat infection and a little redness in his ear, he was given some medication and he is feeling much better. Does your little one have a fever. Try and avoid giving him milk, try making jello or give him yogurt or something that he might just want to grab from your plate just try one food at a time also try pedialyte. Good luck.

Giving him Pedialite is a very good thing. You really should contact your pediactrician. If he is ill and not eating after by tomorrow(Tuesday) take him the doctor! Especially if he is running a fever. See if he'll nibble on some saltines. That may help settle his tummy too.
I hope he feels better soon!

Your baby might have a virus. My son does the same thing. Check on some more doctors for you son. Try them out and see if there any good. Then pick which one you like.

If he is keeping the pedialight down that is good, he isn't getting dehydrated then. I know when I am sick milk doesn't taste good. It is too thick. You should take him to the dr's. Just to be sure that he is doing ok. Most likely it is just a cold, but it will make you feel better if you are sure. Good luck.

is he sick or teething? My son always ran fevers, threw up, and lost his appetite when he was teething. Feel his gums... if they feel swollen or if he tries to pull away from you, get some oragel and apply it to his gums. Once he doesn't hurt, his appetite will return.
If it gets worse or persists for more than another day, call his doctor. There are alot of viruses going around this time of year. GOOD LUCK.

Definitely take him to see a doctor. If you don't like the current doctor, find another one soon. In the meantime, if you can't find doctor, take him to the hospital. His health should come first.

Chances are he has rotovirus. My daughter had it when she was about 10 months. She threw everything up and had awful diareah for days. She got very dehydrated and almost had to get an I.V.....you r son needs to be seen by a Dr.

if your baby is teething then that could be a contributing factor. but it sounds like he needs to see a doc. is he drinking? its important you get as much fluid down him that you can. if he gets too dyhydrated then it becomes more serious. make your doc pay more attention or see another one.
if his temp gets above 40 oc, and espicially if hes not drinking, just take him straight to the hospital,

What did your Dr say? You have taken him in right? If not don't delay take him in now, babies can dehydrate in a matter of a few hours. Good Luck, I hope hes feeling better real soon.
