Suggest Treatment For Flu In Infants

Hello, I have a preemie baby (born around 34 weeks) and is now 8 months old. I have started giving her solids since she turned 6 months but she has never been a fan of solid food. Around 7 months she got the flu and refused all solids which was normal I was told. Once she was fine again, I have started giving her solids but the amount is very small as she refuses. Recently though, everytime I feed her (4 to 5 spoonfuls), she would vomit after a few hours. It can be fruit, vgetables, chicken... but she would act all cranky and then throw up the milk she drank. When I stop the solids, the vomiting stops. As soon as I restart, it starts again. What can it be?

Hi...what you are quoting is a very common problem in kids who are recovering form any viral illness like this. The appetite will be down of a 4-6 weeks and then they recover on their own.

The other possibility is that it could be a transient gastro esophageal reflux.

But if the kids activity is appropriate for age and the kid is cheerful otherwise except for low food intake and occasional vomiting, you need not worry at all.
