What food is good to give to a child that just vomitted? Is Cacao okay?

Bland and soft foods and the first thing came into your mind was Cocoa? Your idea has me laughing, you know! Maybe, a forage could help.

Warm broth is the best until the vomiting is under control. Chocolate in any form is not. Cocoa is not. He may be getting a stomach virus. Gatorade is another product good for children with vomiting because it restores the electrolytes in the body that are lost with vomiting or diarrhea. But avoid dairy products they seem to sour on an upset stomach and extend vomiting. Just a few things I remember about child rearing and stomach issues. Hope he feels better quick!

Well firstly I will advice you to find out whether the watermelon was fresh or not. May be that some part of it was rotten or something. Ok now next, Well I don't actually know the reason but i have seen in India that parents never give their children "fruits" to eat at morning or in night. They only give fruit in noon time and when i inquired about it, they said its something related to cold. I have a niece who is very naughty and thus never eats nutritious things so her mother gives her some supplementary diets which are damn nutritious, you can check for such supplements in market.

since your brother vomit, you must replace the minerals he vomited..you can give him a ready made oral rehydrating solution to replace the electrolytes..then just let him drink soup and eat soft foods..you better must know the cause of his vomiting to know the foods that must be avoided..cacao fruit maybe ok..as long as it won't irritate his stomach..

My grandmother use to say before having watermelon make sure you do not intake milk or yogurt. I hope he did not have milk and then ended up eating watermelon and even after consuming watermelon wait for some time to have any milk product. Just for future notice. I hope he is feeling good.

Most of the time you need to worry with vomitting is dehydration, its best to keep the diet on the more bland side, maybe toast, rice, tea, small amounts of juice, staying away from dairy is usually a good thing to follow is the 'BRAT" Diet. Broth Rice Apple Sauce Toast Hope this helps.

I am sorry to reply to your post this late.But this might be helpful to somebody at some times.If the baby is vomiting a lot,Immediately give him a oral re hydration solution which can be bought from the medical shop available as small sachets.If it is not available,mix a handful of sugar and a pinch of salt to 1 liter of water and administer to the baby.This will prevent the baby from dehydration.Other than that,if he is vomiting a foods,try giving the foods little by little so that he gets adjusted to it.I don't recommend cacao nor any other chocolate.Happy mylotting.

The best thing to give to your brother if he is sick is chicken broth one sip every 15 minutes to see if he is going to keep it down to start with and then, an hour after he kept it down,give him some bread alone without anything on it, than 2 to 3 hours later let him sip a little bit of apple juice if is alright he is going to kepp it down, unless he has a fever than bring his fever down with Tylenol and he is going to feel better and keep his food down. Good luck!

i am late in responding since this is just my first day in this site. but i just want to share my knowledge based on what we are doing in our field of work. first, if someone experience vomiting, the first thing to do is to relax the stomach. sometimes vomiting can be due to irritation due to foods taken. what you have to do is to let someone not to eat for a period of time. 30 minutes can do. since vomiting already occured, and if you let him/her eat another one can result to another episode of vomiting. so to control or prevent it to vomit again must be the first priority since consistent vomiting may result to dehydration. after a period of nothing per orem, as what we called in no oral intake in medical field,you can have small frequent feedings. either biscuits or any foods which you think the person can tolerate, since providing bulk foods can promote irritation thus resulting to vomiting.and of course, don't forget to give water in small amount. do not let him drink large volume. if you think he/she vomitted much, oral rehydration salts will do. sometimes, it comes in sachet preparation and 1 sachet is to be dissolved in 1 glass of water. do not let him drink the whole volume in one taking. a sip will do, but must be given in a number of times to replace the fluid loss.this can also be given to person with diarrhea to prevent dehydration and to promote hydration.
