Concerned about potential mat leave , etc . Doesn ' t that fall under productivity , though ? <| sep |> Pumpkin muffins are the best . The bagel place near me has had some for the past month or so and I had to get my fix at least once a week . <| sep |> Dad here . The best thing for your kid right now is rest and relaxation . Don ' t take them anyone outside the home . Small sips of water or pedialite every 5 minutes should keep them hydrated without over doing it . Oyster crackers are a perfect snack for a sick kid . If there doing better , Lipton soup is a good clear broth with easy noodles to eat . Sorry it happened on a holiday . It ' s happened to us before . Also , lay towels on the ground around your kid . You ' ll like the easy clean up if they throw up again , and they probably will .
