First make sure the pediatrician is aware and that it is the flu bug.

* Pedialyte if vomiting and diarrhea, no more than 3 days.
* Don't force the formula if it is increasing vomiting.
* Adding rice to formula helps if baby is having diarrhea
* Watch fever close! Don't mess around with it, especially with the current bug that is going around. My husband just got over it and ran 103 for 6 days straight, with tylenol and motrin alternating. Rough on a baby!

Hope this helps!
