go by your gut feeling. since hospital is 4hours from your place, try to be around it. as far as he is playing now well and is asking for food, give him very little.some 3-4spoons, then divert him to play and likewise go on, until he finishes his meal. he is tiring, he might not eat much, but will nap.so see if he sleep. dont give milk for another 6-7hours.cows milk is heavy, and in vomitting not at recommended.
also after he eats,keep in upright position for some 15-20min and then let him nap. while sleeping also, since he had severe vomitting in the morning, tug a pillow and let him sleep elevated so that we can be sure that he doesnt throw up anymore and he gets good sleep & rest. you also take a good nap.
good luck and you have a wonderful weekend.i was online for you only and i am sure you wont need me now :) he will be fine by evening. in evening you can give him his regular diet if he has not shown ne reflux or throwing up,okay.avoid giving ne spices,give mild food or boiled vegies or just abit watery overcooked rice and dal.
bye,take care.

give sugar, salt and water tsp every 2hours. not every 10mins. let your baby tummy settle down.i see it as a vacation tiredness. settle down today, take a break for a day or so.
give him a tsp of cool water every time he vomits.make sure the waterr is abit cooler than normal temperature.
addins,try to find nearest mall and if you can get pedialyte.get that give that for next 24 hours.avoid ne milk or ne other juices.give clear liquids only.
his stomach needs to settle down. ddont give ne solids for next 8-10hours. also you are staying in hotel thats has equipped kitchen. do you have refrigerator with freezer? if so, put a bowl of water in that, if icetrays are not available.put it high, often freezer are able to make ice as early as 10mins depending on bowl size.put smaller qty to get faster and keep the crushed ice back in freezer.also put one more for another serving.give that crushed ice,one small chip every 5mins exact. this will settle his refluxes quickly than just water.also it will help him settle faster.
if and only if he doesnt vomit again after 30mins to 1 hour, give him 1 little cracker. if he does not vomit further, give him couple more and watch him every 30mins. if he is feeling better he himself will ask for food as he is badly hungry.
he might not ask for formula or milk and avoid giving it for another 8-12hours.after he vomits, clear his nose with suction bulb to remove all liquid from nasal passages otherwise he will have earinfection after that. make sure his throat passages are also clear. give a light pat on his back to clear them after his vomits.at the same time, see his convinience. he is already tired by now because of vomitting so he will get mad at this point of time if you do much of cleaning work. but try to pump atleast the excess.

once if by 3-4hours, he doesnt show ne vomitting or ne signs of vomitting then give him something light like boiled apple or if you have rice,give over boiled rice with ghee and a lil sprinkle of salt.offer with a couple icechips.dont give nething hard or heavy to digest for next 24 hours, even after his recovery.

continue giving icechips or water every 5mins and salt,sugar,water mixture every 15-30mins.dont worry if he doesnt show ne interest in eating.give a lil amt, go very slow, 1tsp once a while for ne food.

he should be fine with this, by afternoon. and prob you will not require to visit your hospital.but keep heading towards your hospital, once he settles with vomitting.keep an extra pair of towels and clothes with you to your way to hsptal.keep changing his clothes everytime he vomits to avoid the smell. sometimees during such instances, the smell itself gives the feel of vomitting.as soon as he vomits, put the towel next to him.he will not like being tied up in car seat if you are in US. so dont force him. let him sit with you. in case cop asks,you wont get a ticket if you say that he is vommitting continuously in car seat and was miserable there.. also as an addition some information about local stores nearby. they knw it better than anyone else.he will leave you because the situation is of emergency.

i want you to give icechips or crushed ice only if you are in hot place,if you are in cold place,give that every 10mins than every 4-5mins.. andd give it with salt,sugar water in 10mins.

also, once he settles ddown, give him a good refreshing spongebath(wet towel and some cool water,if you have baby cologne then its great) and keep him cozy,but not warm. make sure he doesnt catch fever.

from today to until you are on vacation, reschedule your next days trips and make them light trip then a rushing one. he needs to settle down, needs goodd rest for atleast 1 day.

dont worry, dear, he will be fine. there is nothing else going on with him.i am not worried about his urgency unless he vomits ne brownish or bloody colour. as far his vomits are of clear,light yellowish,or yellow or of bitter smell,i am fine.

this is all because of stomach upset and tiredness.
okay, take care, good luck

RE:Adult breast feeding
I was not breastfeed in my childhood hence the idea of sucking and feeding from a woman's full, engorged breasts has infatuated me.
