1 - wrap their pillows in some sort of waterproof covering. We used bed pads. This saved their pillows from getting soaked and allowed us to just need to change the pillowcase and not the entire pillow.
2 - have a good mattress protector! This should be on there all the time anyway to save the mattress from accidents and all the other weird fluids that kids give, but certainly a must for the stomach bug too! Each kid has 2 sets of sheets, bedding, and protector that we put all in a pillowcase and keep in their closets. Makes middle of the night changes super easy and I know that the mattress isn’t wet underneath them.
3 - lay some sort of barrier between your kiddo and their sheets. If I don’t have to change an entire bed set, then why would I? I use the disposable bed pads and layer a soft towel over that to make it more comfortable, I also have reusable bed pads that are soft fabric and don’t slide around as much. Both work great and none of my kids seemed to mind. But the goal here is to catch the vomit and just need to change the “puke layer” instead of the entire bed. Doesn’t always work, but I’ll still try every single time.
4 - PUKE BUCKETS!!! use a bowl, a cheap east bucket, or if your kid is old enough to aim more precisely, use emesis bags. Our special needs daughter did not like puking into anything so this didn’t work for her, but my 4 and 6 year old did great with it. Especially in the middle of the night. It saved their beds!
5 - if your kiddo has long hair, put it up. It’s one thing to wash their bodies off in the tub but when you have to wash long hair too and it’s 3am… not fun and just makes their discomfort worse. Get that hair out of the way.
I’d love to hear some of your tips if you have any!
Of course, lots of fluids, meds like Zofran are great if needed.
Hang in there!!
