My 22 month old just had rotavirus. Any advice about foods to start him on?

Any advice from parents with rotavirus experience would be most helpful. He hasn't had diahrea for 1 day now and he wants to eat a little bit, but I think that his tummy is still a little crampy, or he is having a hard time digesting.My 22 month old just had rotavirus. Any advice about foods to start him on?
keep it simple. use the BRAT formula. bananas, rice, applesauce, toast.





yogurt is also beneficial to restore some of the bacteria in his intestinal tract.





lots of drinks of water and love from mum........and presto! you'll have a happy camper in no time.





rotavirus is the pits! been there will all three of my little guys, it can take a week or two to get them ';regular'; so to speak.......





best wishes for your little guy!My 22 month old just had rotavirus. Any advice about foods to start him on?
did you get him his rotavirus vaccines?





you may want to ask your pediatrician. they usually are really good about letting you know what you can and cant do after a serious illness.





goodluck

Can you give some advice about an application that I'm working on?

I'm filling out an application for Starbucks and theres a question that ask ';Why would you like to work for Starbucks Coffee Company?'; What could I say that wouldn't sound feigned or cheesy?Can you give some advice about an application that I'm working on?
I would enjoy working with the public in a fast-paced environment.

Why do people post a question for advice about their horrible relationship then?

two seconds later you see them giving advice to someone else? Might be a silly question but its true:)Why do people post a question for advice about their horrible relationship then?
LOL well I have to answer so I have enough points to ask my questions!





Also, I can give advice. Just because my relationship eventually ended after 2 years doesn't mean I don't know about working through problems or dating etiquette, or can tell who's a bad person and who isn't. 2 years was pretty successful and we knew when to call it a day and even though I'm upset I learnt a lot. Most notably, I learnt what I would and wouldn't find acceptable. When I see questions from people and they are still in a relationship that is 10 times worse than my one that ended, I have a pretty good perspective on what to tell them!





It's easy to give clear advice when you have an outsider's perspective and more or less impartial view of the situation.Why do people post a question for advice about their horrible relationship then?
Maybe because they have life experience , and they share, do you think that if you need advice at some point in your life then you have nothing to give anymore? Sometimes when you are in a situation it is hard to stand back and judge without a bias, but looking at someone else's problem you are able to advise. From your question I guess you think that if you have a relationship problem then you are somehow a failiure at relationships full stop, it just isn't like that, people can get into situations that are not their fault.


people help each other when needed, no matter what their circumstances. Thats where the phrase 'give and take' applies , most kids learn it.
Well, I do this, and feel totally justified!





Just because I ask for advice on my idiot ex, does not mean that I have no right to try and help others. In fact, my experiences with my ex (since Feb 2009) have taught me so much, that I now answer on this section every day, and have a good reputation/lots of points/best answers.





You should be more concerned about people who have no idea about the very issues on which they are advising! It may be well-intended but you get a lot of teenagers replying to marriage questions, saying things like ';oh well IDK'; (which I assume means ';I don't know'; in teen-speak).





Most of the top contributors in marriage and divorce often state they have gone through being cheated on, and horrible divorces, should they stop answering then?
Because when u are in a relationship its difficult to see the obvious maybe judgement is clouded cos u are madly in love.


What maybe obvious to an outsider is something someone in a relationship just can't see.


Sometimes u are genuinely confused between ur heart and brain and advice helps.


Sometimes u know what u are doing is bad for u but you'll ask a question to get sympathy or the strength to do the right thing.


I must admit I am gully of asking relationship advice on yahoo answers - i am CLUELESS about what i should do. But i like giving advice as I've learnt lots of things the hard way.
I find that interesting as well. If your relationship sucks and you are asking how to fix it or what to do, then how can you give someone else advice on their own realtionship that sucks? It's like Stevie Wonder trying to help Ray Charles (if he was alive) get across a busy highway.
Because sometimes, it's easier to ask a complete stanger, who is byass on the situation.....thre may be children involved, and they want to save tier relationship. Perhaps they could try counceling.
I agree with Marcia. Things are a lot clearer from an outsiders perspective. Plus...just because someone is having problems with certain types of relational issues doesn't mean they don't have good advice for others going through something else.
because they are asking for help in their situation. That does not mean they cant give advice to someone else. Thats how it works, people try to answer each others questions.
Because that is the way it is done.
uuff people. i call it ';cyper issues';.

Can you offer advice about surveillance equipment?

Does anyone know where I could obtain self-contained, wireless, hidden cameras at a great bargain?





(And no, I don't have illegal intentions.) Can you offer advice about surveillance equipment?
B%26amp;H sells surveillance equipment.

I need advice about my off and on relationship?

Why do I torture myself with a relationship that is an emotional rollercoaster?





We are constantly breaking up and hurting each other and then getting back together.





We are obviously madly in love because we can't just let each other go.





But I feel like over the last few months my heart has just slowly been letting go. And he has his guard up and with my heart not being fully into it and with him guarding his heart...





How can we make it work?





How do we get the spark back in our relationship and how can we forget everything we've been through and move on?I need advice about my off and on relationship?
You both need to sit down and figure out what you are doing wrong. Obviously what causes most relationship strain is not understanding each other.....this takes time and it depends solely on how long you have been together...if its been so long, the chances of you both still figuring each other out are slim...possible but slim. There's still something btw you too which is why either of you cant let go.





How do you figure out what you are doing wrong?





well ...you sit him down and ask him ..what he wants from this relationship and let him ask you whatever is mind boggling him with the relationship as well..and you two start doing those things ...its a good start





Breakin up is not an option ..it makes matters worse especially if there are still some mutual feelings.....hope that helps. Take things one at a timeI need advice about my off and on relationship?
Have you considered a distinguished older gentleman with a good job and an excellent credit rating?





Okay - just kidding, but I think you've had enough of my advice! Don't want to use that word ';toxic'; again.

Need serious advice about a new concept in business鈥?

I live in India and I am working for a company which provides online tuitions to students of USA.





Company is planning to start Online Teaching of Indian Languages. We are targeting Non Resident Indians who are poor in their native language. For example, if an Indian guy is born and bought up in USA and he is not so PRO in Hindi language, he can book sessions with us and learn Hindi. In this new concept, people will book sessions in advance, qualified tutors will teach them language by using Skype and Web Camera (Audio+Video).





I want your opinion. Do you think people will pay to learn their native language? During my trips in various countries I have noticed that so many people want their kids to learn native language but will they like to pay to learn it?





Serious replies please鈥︹€?Need serious advice about a new concept in business鈥?
It doesn't seem unreasonable, but I'm skeptical of it being heavily used.





For Indians in the United States, the money to be made is not with learning Hindi, but the accent reduction and Americanization skills that are used in the call centers in India.





Still, there are always movements (particularly in parents educating their children) to preserve one's home culture, so I do see some market for your plan. It might be wise to prepare in advance for tutors and materials geared for children aged 5-15 years.





Another possible market is to educate business professionals who have little or no ability to speak Hindi.





If it's possible, you should begin future plans to offer instruction in other languages using this technology. Punjab, Mandarin, Japanese, and a European language or two (hmmm...even English!) might be a good future expansion.Need serious advice about a new concept in business鈥?
I believe people will pay for just about anything if it is marketed correctly. The ability to speak more than one language in today's global society is a real plus. Also the way India is becoming more and more of a part of today's global business it is an excellent idea. I would not limit your services to people with an Indian decent. Like I mentioned before business has become global and perhaps people of non-Indian decent could really take advantage of the opportunity also. As far as people paying to have their children learn either a second language or ';native'; language that too has many positive affects. Learning another language expands the mind and encourages more learning.

  • Can you give me some advice about becoming a news anchor?

    This is my first year in college and I am taking my general and getting my AA in communications with television and involved with our broadcasting show. But can you give me some advice to get ahead even moreCan you give me some advice about becoming a news anchor?
    Don't say you want to be an anchor. Start off by saying you want to be a reporter first and learn the trade. We hate when interns come in and say they want to anchor. We roll our eyes and joke about how every kid wants be an anchor. Make sure your degree is in journalism. Get several internships and listen and learn. Be nice to people and go above and beyond. You also have to prepare yourself to work in small market television for the first few years making next to nothing. Start educating yourself on the business of television. Start reading articles and learning the lingo. A great website to start looking at for example would be tvspy.com. Subscribe to shoptalk on this website. These are just some ideas for you. Please be aware the burnout rate for this career is VERY high! Don't let people tell you how great and glamorous this career is. It's got it's good points but it also has several bad points. Believe me. I know. The competition is steep and like about 80% of the people who want this career, by the time you hit age 35 your going to be looking for a different way to make a living. Good luck!Can you give me some advice about becoming a news anchor?
    Do some print work for your college newspaper. That way you will have developed some talent besides being a news reader. That's what an anchor is. Someone who belongs to the same trade union as Jay Leno and David Letterman, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artist (AFTRA).


    First, learn to be a good reporter. Not a ';journalist';. Follow always the first rule of good reporting:


    ';If your mother says she loves you, check it out!';.
    I'd suggest doing an internship at your local television station. Nothing beats on-the-job training for figuring out if that is really what you want to do, and, more importantly, making contacts and mentors. I wish when I was getting MY AA that someone had advised me of a television or radio internship. I would have been spared money, time and huge effort.
