Lisa,  I don't know about the PCOS connection but we have been treating
hyperemesis gravidarum very successfully with increasing fluids and salt
(preferable Celtic sea salt).  It takes a lot of water to grow extra
maternal blood volume, baby blood/fluid, and amniotic fluid.  If you think
about what the body is trying to do by vomiting (homeostasis), it could be
that it's trying to make the woman thirsty enough to drink more. Especially
when nursing an older child in the summertime, she's probably low on fluids.
Tell her to drink an extra litre of water per day and to salt "liberally"
(as per Dr. Thomas Brewer's method of preventing P. I. H.)
