VOMITING: You can put her on diet by giving frequent small feedings of pedialyte and temporary change her formula to isomil or soy milk.

Follow up advised: Pedialyte may be given for 24 to 36 hours, but if she has vomiting with the pedialyte, persistent symptoms or other symptoms, she should see her pediatrician.
