My baby is 6 months old and she is sick from some unauthorized dairy products. Runs & vomit...thanks Grandma! 
Is nursing enough? Should I offer water, juice or Pedialyte?

i think nursing is enough! poor thing
LO was sick when she was around 3.5-4 months - but not from dairy - but pedi told me to just keep nursing.
-
I would just continue to nurse. If she isn't wetting diapers or the inside of her lip is dry, then try diluting some pedialyte.
-
DD had a stomach bug a while back and after lots of the runs and vomiting, I have her Pedialyte.
-
When DD was vomiting I tried giving her pedialyte but she didn't like. I think she should be okay with just bm.. not a professional though!
-
Grandma's!
I think nursing is enough too so long as she has wet diapers.
Hope she feels better soon! -
had a stomach bug when she was 3 months old and we were told to continue with breastmilk and to check her wet diapers.
-
Our ped recommended it after she had little wet diapers. It helped her a lot
-
The trick we learned with vomiting is to only give very small amounts of liquid (breastmilk, water, pedialyte, whatever you want) at a time to not further upset LO's stomach. We literally would have to do 2 or 3 small sips, wait a few minutes, repeat. Hope LO gets better soon.

When LO had norovirus we have her pedialyte in a syringe.... She was ridiculously dehydrated.
-
@Boogs:
she drank some water and puked it up a few mins later!
-
@autumnlove: I have given my LO some of the pedialyte pops when she had a really high temp and was dehydrated.
-
@autumnlove:
Was it a lot of water thank she drank? Try just a couple small sips at a time, then wait a few minutes and see how it goes.
-
@MaisyMay: We tried that with regular pops also it it seemed to help, great suggestion!
-
@Boogs: she drank 1.5 ounces really fast! I will offer less water or just stick to nursing! Thanks!
-
@Boogs: We had a friend give us a "you won't know you need it until you need it" type box when we were pregnant and that was one of the things in it. It's been a lifesaver on more than one occasion.

@autumnlove: We thought it was great our LO was drinking, but then he kept vomiting and was clearly getting a bit dehydrated. We called in a spoke to a nurse that said their little tummies can only handle small amounts at a time and as soon as we used her trick he stopped vomiting. We didn't realize we were making it worse by letting him drink so much.
