We learned the hard way that sometimes it takes days for their little tummies to bounce back - a couple of times we realized that our kids could really only have water or gatoraid in tsp. amounts for a day or two - none of that food that's supposed to be easy on the stomach, even though they're hungry and will eat it - doesn't seem to mean they can handle it. ;-( We did learn that although they may lose weight, it's really okay for them not to have solids for quite a few days! (Baxter had to go 5 days w/o solids once.) Hope she recovers soon.
Hi! I'm Shannon Hyland-Tassava, or sometimes just Shannon Tassava. You can call me either one, but please pronounce it like this: TASS-uh-vuh. Accent on the first syllable. It's Finnish.
I'm a writer, clinical health psychologist, runner, and full-time stay-at-home mom to two young daughters. I live in a small southern-Minnesota college town amidst rolling fields and farmland. My life is filled with storybooks, Goldfish crackers, laundry, and love, but no longer with strollers and diapers, and never with enough sleep or hours in the day. I write about modern motherhood in all its chaos and glory.
My new book, The Essential Stay-at-Home Mom Manual: How to Have a Wondrous Life Amidst Kids and Chaos, is available now. (See image below.)

You poor things! It sounds awful. Hope she gets better soon.
