Stomach virus - Q for other moms

So my 20 month old got the stomach virus (thanks to SIL who brought her son over after he told her he didn't feel good).

What do I dress her in when she is throwing up about every hour? I've changed her clothes 5 times today already.

Whatever is comfortable and easy to get off in a hurry.


Poor thing... I hope she is well soon! and I hope that no one else gets it!

Poor baby!!! I hate it when people bring their kids out when they don't feel good...When my cousin was sick with it, her mom left her in a diaper and onesie and tried to keep her in the pack and play. She put thick towels down in it...Hopefully she will feel better soon. No dairy. Water and pedialyte...

I didn't dress my girls. They had fevers so I just kept them in a diaper and if they were chilly I used small blankets or towels that I could easily wash. Otherwise do you have some onesies? Easy on and off Pjs? Honestly just a diaper and some blankets really are the easiest for her and you - if you have to bathe her or clean her up. You can layer them to keep her warmer - maybe turn the temperature up in the house by a few degrees for the day.

etd to add - really if you want to clean the clothes and kill the germs you are supposed to wash in hot water- so whatever you choose something that will stand up to that type of washing.
