Hi everyone, I have just had an awful weekend in hospital with my 10 month baby girl. We have all had the dreaded sickness bug . we (adults in the family) were all sick lots and rushing to the toilet but my son (3) had an awful cough and cold that went to his stomach and made him sick lots. It totally wiped him out and he still has a nasty cough a week later.

But little girl got very poorly with it and could hold anything down not even calpol . She had a temperature or 39 so it was off to A&E.

Anyway to cut a long story short she was eventually admitted after our second visit to A&E on sat evening.

She is now home and holding most breast feeds down and seems a lot better despite sounding like she smokes 100 a day !


My question to all you lovely, wise people is - do you have any ideas as to what to give her in the way of solids as she seems hungry . She seems to want finger foods and I struggled before she got with ideas for healthy (easy as I find it hard with my 3 year old too) finger food that avoids choking . Then she starts to cough that is when she is sick!


Anyway this is a total ramble so will stop. Looking forward to hearing any suggestion x x

Maybe dry toast, dry bits of breakfast cereal, maybe not that healthy but better than nothing-melt in the mouth organix crisps like the corn, carrot or tomato ones (the from 7 months ones seem a bit blander so less sickening for her), don't really know what else to suggest, only I know breast milk seems least offensive when my lo is off her food. Bread/toast always next most tolerated food. Maybe leave little bits lying around so she can pick at it if she fancies it. She might just stay off food for a few days until she picks up a little more. Hope she is back to full health soon.

If you're worrying about toast disintegrating then try cutting soldiers up and bake in the oven on a low heat. Makes them really hard, which sounds counter intuitive but they can then suck on them and they slowly melt rather than breaking off in hard to swallow chunks.

Second cooked apple- I cut into wedges and then fry in the pan with a little unsalted butter and cinnamon. My LO loves them.


Also steamed/roasted veg fingers?


Steamed fish which they can break chunks off and eat?



Ummm... Some good inspiration on this website too:

Hope everyone is well again soon.

you poor things! rice is usually recommended for upset stomachs as it has a calming effect - so perhaps rice cakes as a finger food? i'd go for the cooked apple too, and also slices of pear and banana. or grated apple can be a finger food too. or healthy fruit ice lollies? just keep it as gentle as possible for her.


hope you are all better soon!

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
