First norovirus - wake for fluids
Our baby has norovirus (and just on the cusp of her 1st bday tomorrow ðŸ˜ðŸ˜). She doesn’t have a fever but she’s kept down about 6 oz all day. We have a call in to the pediatrician but wondering if anyone can advise on whether we need to wake her overnight to take liquids?
Thanks! Commiseration very welcome too.

Oh man I'm sorry!! Our 6mo just had her first norovirus earlier this week. It was only 24 hours but it was kind of brutal!
Not sure if advice changes as they get older, but our ped said as long as she's not dehydrated she doesn't have to wake to eat - at least one diaper every 8 hours etc. She also said if baby is having trouble keeping milk down to try Pedialyte for better hydration.
Good luck, and I hope she feels better soon! And 🤞 you are spared.

Ugh sounds miserable!! Hope your baby is on the mend and you didn’t come down with it. So far we’ve dodged norovirus but I feel like it’s only a matter of time.
