8 m emesis w/o fever: May still be gastroenteritis, or may rarely be signs of pyloric stenosis. The child needs to be hydrated so if he can suck on the pacifiers that have containers so he can keep hydratd that is important. he needs about a liter a day of fluid. if not take him to ER/ doc. Dehydration can result in its own problems. call you doctor today

Gastritis: Stop milk and give him small sips of an electrolyte solution. Once he is retaining same you can give him 1/2 glass at time.As he retains the fluid you can gradually return to a regular diet
