Monitor temperature: Provide a clear infant electrolyte solution for one day, if she is formula fed. A soy formula may be used after 24 hours to help digestion. Offer applesauce, bananas and rice cereal to improve her symptoms. If you are nursing, continue to nurse and please follow up with your PCP. Watch for signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet diapers or weight loss,
