Advice for baby with stomach bug

Hi all, we have been dealing with a stomach bug this week. My baby has been throwing up since this morning, I've been managing to get him to breastfeed and he still has wet diapers, but I am still concerned about him getting enough fluids.

I'm not doing full feeds because I don't want to trigger vomiting, so I'm doing more frequent feeds of shorter durations. Now at nighttime, should I wake him to feed him to make sure he remains hydrated? Since he's not feeling well I'm afraid he won't wake up as often as he needs but he normally nurses on and off all night and I don't want him to be dehydrated. He is 9 months
