He's 2 next month. Was v sick twice around 3-4pm but seems happy now. Will try a bit of toast soon.

Should I avoid giving him his bedtime milk?

I would still give him his milk but perhaps not the toast. Can you give it him half an hour earlier just in case?

Good idea. I've given him a little bit of plain pasta cos he asked for it when he saw DD eating dinner. Fingers crossed

if he needs it to go to sleep for a comfort thing then I guess you need to but maybe only half or something

really no dairy at all is best for 24 hours and toasyt is the best idea if they are asking for food

hope he feels better soon

Latest advice is to give them whatever they'll drink when they're vomiting even milk unless there's a history of milk allergy If you're still making up powdered you could go to half strength.

Thanks. Gave him watered down semi skimmed and he's fast asleep. Hoping that's the end of it...

Yes, baby sick is one thing...toddler sick quite another

Hope he's feeling better this morning
