The only thing I could stomach for 2 days was the concentrated chicken noodle soup - couldn't even add water to it!</p> <p>I hope it passes soon for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-norovirus-tmi#post-710482 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:03:53 +0000 Happygal 710482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have so much sympathy from me. I had this twice my first year of grad school and it is awful. Sounds like you're doing well with the liquids. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-norovirus-tmi#post-710450 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 07:55:53 +0000 stlginkgo 710450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: oh yes, it certainly has made me want to die. Luckily, the vomiting has subsided. My stomach still doesn't feel 100% and I'm looking at a very small all liquid diet today. Ugh, I just want to dip my whole house in Lysol so we don't get it again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-norovirus-tmi#post-710326 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:59:03 +0000 JoJoGirl 710326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh noooo ;( I'm so sorry!!! I had once on a cruise a few years ago and it was the worst. We did a lot of work with noro at my old job and used to say "It can't kill you, but will make you want to die". Feel better! Agree with @FancyGem: see if you can get your hands on some compazine. I took that and Pepto when I had it and I think it helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-norovirus-tmi#post-710124 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:44:31 +0000 FancyGem 710124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all had it a few months ago. I got it from my baby. We took the anti nausea pill that you get while pregnant (I forgot the name, but it is chewable). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-norovirus-tmi#post-710111 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:36:40 +0000 JamieLee 710111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got over that today. What a miserable time. I have no advice other than to keep trying to drink fluids, whatever you can force down, I puked up almost flat coke that I was choking down...not good. I lost 5 lbs in 24 hours...I'm still not 100% but I haven't puked since last night. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-norovirus-tmi#post-710091 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:23:29 +0000 HLK208 710091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!!! I'm sorry, I hope you get better soon.

No, I do not mean make me vomit more and my husband have more diarrhea. I mean get the F out of my body and house! You are not welcome here. </p> <p>stlginkgo</p> <p>Just got off the phone with my mom, she is refusing to come help me bc she doesn't want to get sick (I get it, but sometimes you just want your momma, no matter how old you are!) I need ideas on how to stay hydrated and unvomitty fellow bees. I currently am in bed with a huge cup of ice cips and a giant Gatorade (but its kinda icky..) I am VERY worried about my milk supply if I get dehydrated. LO#2 is only a little over a month, she needs her mommy milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668767 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:49:45 +0000 MamaBehr 668767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let him crawl wherever. If I didn't than he would FREAK out.... So I just clean his hands really well afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668701 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:32:34 +0000 winniebee 668701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I debated this at a mall yesterday when I was putting all my stuff together, but thought better of it!</p> <p>Then again, he is in daycare and I'm pretty sure that the germs are worse there than in many public places! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668698 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:30:29 +0000 Lozza 668698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like when LO was in his crawling phase (which honestly only lasted a month), it was rare that we'd be out in a public place and not want him in his stroller or the Ergo or something like that for reasons totally separate from hygiene concerns. Like, if I'm going to the grocery store, I have stuff to do and I want LO contained. There weren't many public places we visited where we'd just be chilling in a single area for any length of time, you know?<br /> But even once LO started walking, we were pretty lax about where he put his hands and when they went into his mouth. We definitely went to zoos and outdoor festivals and pick-your-own farms and museums and such and didn't wipe his hands after touching stuff that thousands of other people had been touching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668679 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:24:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 668679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have no choice. olive just started taking her first steps at 17 months. we let her crawl around at the playground all the time. but luckily she never really put things in her mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668667 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:22:02 +0000 banana 668667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to let her do that because I'm a germaphobe too. But if she must (like at an indoor playground) I just wipe her up right away and wash her hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668664 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:21:41 +0000 Honeybee 668664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let DS crawl around the library or other play areas. I just wash or sanitize his hands afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668567 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:04:57 +0000 lovehoneybee 668567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a bookstore we go to sometimes that has a Children's room with a big floor mat and toys and such. That's about the only public place I've let him crawl. And our local library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668556 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:02:46 +0000 autumnlove 668556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't let her do it so I hold her or keep her strapped in her stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668555 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:02:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 668555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Certain places, yes, but not like at WalMart or anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668549 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:01:38 +0000 Weagle 668549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let her crawl around anywhere at church, but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-crawl-around-in-public-places#post-668503 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:51:33 +0000 cranberryapple 668503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a big germaphobe, but the thought of my LO crawling on the ground in public places and then putting his hands in his mouth does gross me out a bit. I suppose there's no real way to prevent this unless I only let him reign free when he can walk, right? So, did you, and when, did you let your LO crawl around in public places? Did you clean their hands afterwards? </p>
