Oh dear, I'd separate myself from baby for a while if gastric flu is involved. Maybe sleep in a separate room or get a family member to help care for baby while you recuperate. My friend had severe gastric flu and continued to take care of her baby as normal but she was weak and she found it really difficult to concentrate on her baby. In the end she had to call her MIL for back up because severe gastric flu will really take a toll on your body. Her baby fell sick a few days (slight fever) after but it was nothing serious. She blamed herself for not seeking help when she was sick.
