That time he didn't eat and almost couldn't hold down anything. I think you could try water or juice ice chips did hydration? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1059225 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:41:16 +0000 Rubies 1059225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD, when sick, will only eat crackers and fruit. She'll drink from a straw and if she's really not eating much then I'll give her undiluted apple juice. I hope she gets better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1059165 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:05:57 +0000 autumnlove 1059165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doesn't eat a lot when she is sick...bread, water, crackers, apple chips and rice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1059094 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:56:09 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1059094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>chicken broth, water, diluted apple juice, pedialyte, crackers, porridge, bread (king's hawaiian bread is a hit around here)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1059070 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:40:50 +0000 skibobrown 1059070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fluids and soup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1059069 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:39:39 +0000 MamaCate 1059069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastmilk!

Even if its mostly fruit and Cheerios, it's only for a few days and at least she's getting something. I put pedialyte in her sippy cup and she likes that usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1058999 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 14:32:00 +0000 winniebee 1058999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually he'll eat soup.</p> <p>Also diluted gatorade and water from open cup.</p> <p>When he's sick I just go with what he wants which is usually soup and crackers (maybe) or yogurt melts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1058961 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 14:04:41 +0000 betsyboop 1058961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>chicken soup or ddukgook? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1058847 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 12:44:24 +0000 mrbee 1058847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: if she's wetting her diaper, I think she's ok for now?</p> <p>Olive loves to drink from open cups too... especially with a bendy straw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-sick-toddler#post-1058844 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 12:41:16 +0000 Lindsay05 1058844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fed DD lots of rice crackers, goldfish and diluted apple juice.

Well, all she will eat is yogurt pouches, crackers and sweet carbs (i.e., scones). She wont even eat fish congee that she normally loves! She hasn't been drinking too much either. I gave her some diluted OJ and she made a disgusted face.</p> <p>Any suggestions on how to keep her hydrated? It is awful seeing her not eat since she normally eats so well. I don't want her to only eat sweets... </p>
