Unlikely recurs: At 4 months old, she has a functioning immune system that is still producing protective antibodies that will help greatly in preventing her from getting this again. In addition. wash your hands frequently. especially when feeding her and preparing her food. Clean hands with soap and water any and every time you use the bathroom. No kissing her anywhere on the face. Wash common surfaces frequently

Gastroenteritis: Viral gastroenteritis can spread easily in a household. If you are breastfeeding, keep it up ! this is the best protection and only you can provide it. Keep your hands washed or sanitized, and sanitize baby's hands too. Keep baby hydrated with his usual diet; should not get worse. Remember to take care of yourself!
