For vomiting, you: need to let his stomach rest, by not giving any food or fluids for at least 2 hours after vomiting. Then you can give him sips of fluids(Pedialyte/gatorade)or licks of popsicles. Once he keeps that down, you can give a little more, then eventually small amounts of bland food. You want to make sure he is urinating (not dehydrated)and the vomiting doesn't start over with too much intake too fast.
