Will The Youngest Also Be Effected By Stomach Flu?

We have a 4 yr old and 1 yr old. Last night the 4 yr old began vomiting and threw up about 7 times in 6 hours and today feels better. She also had diarrhea and a slight fever, guessing it is/was the stomach flu. Is it almost inevitable that our youngest will get it also?

it's not inevitable but very likely that your youngest child will also get this condition.

best wishes
