Keep feeding: It is important to keep breast feeding even if you have a stomach bug. Make sure you. Stay hydrated. Very frequent small amounts of fluid should do it. If you vomiting so much and you can't keep anything down see your doctor.

The breast milk is protective, so that alone can help prevention in the baby, Observe baby for fussy, fever and other symptoms and bring into pedi MD if these occur.
