Should i feed my baby after projectile vomiting?
My 6-month-old baby just had a very sudden, strong bout of projectile vomiting and I'm quite worried. He seems a bit unsettled now. Should I feed my baby after projectile vomiting, or wait a while?

No, probably not right away. Let the stomach settle a bit.
Hey! It depends on a few things. If it was just one episode and the baby seems otherwise fine, alert, and active, you can try offering a small amount of ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) first, then maybe a small feed after some time. But if it's repeated or baby seems lethargic, better to check with your pediatrician.
Oh, I totally get it, it's so scary when that happens! My heart goes out to you. Usually, after projectile vomiting, it's good to give their tummy a break for a bit before trying to feed again. Watch for signs of dehydration and consult your doctor if you're worried.
Projectile vomiting in babies can be serious. Please, don't try to feed until a doctor has checked your baby. It's always best to be safe with little ones, jao aur dikhao.

Yaar, actually no. Thoda wait karo. Unka stomach upset hoga, toh feed karne se aur nikal sakta hai. Maybe just sips of water if doc says ok, then after some time, try again with less quantity.
