One may also ask, how can I soothe my vomiting toddler?
Your doctor may want you to give your baby small amounts of oral electrolyte solution. Check the amount with your doctor. Give toddlers about one tablespoon of oral electrolyte solution, ice chips, diluted juice, or clear broth every 15 minutes. If your child continues to vomit, call your doctor.
Keep children off of solid foods for 24 hours after vomiting. Solid foods should be avoided for about 24 hours. The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) is an effective way to reintroduce food after vomiting. These bland foods can help children ease into normal eating.
