Name changed for this. DS (10.5 months old) had his first day at nursery and I get a call shortly before the end of the day where I'm told he has vomited and so the 48 hour exclusion applies.
He was pretty upset during the day but other than that no temperature, diarrhoea etc. So I collected him thinking he had a little milk vomit. Although the vomit had been wiped, he absolutely stank of it. He brought up his lunch and dinner apparently and his cot was completely covered. I have given him a bath and washed his hair three times but still struggling to get the vomit out.
Anyway my point is, it was a big one and he has never been sick to that extent before, just some milk regurgitation at the most.
He is fine in himself and hasn't been sick since. I was given the sheet at the end of the day explaining what he ate and honestly, it seems so much to me that I'm not surprised he had to bring it all up!
AIBU or is this too much for his age?
- toast for breakfast (had nothing at home beforehand)
- chicken tikka curry rice and naan bread for lunch
- trifle as dessert for lunch
- pastry snack
- banana pudding snack
- 5 oz milk
- naan bed snack
Bearing in mind he slept for over 4 hours of the 9 he was there, this seems like so much food! Granted the portion sizes may be small and I wouldn't know that or how much he was actually eating of the portions, but in comparison with me he has 3 milks and 2 large meals so the nursery food seems excessive. It's not as though he is underfed at home, he is 75th centile in weight.
I did say when collecting him that he may have been sick as he ate too much but was told he definitely didn't have too much food, was just eating well. I know he loves to eat so could just keep going even when full.
As well as the exclusion period causing me childcare issues when at work I really felt sorry for him so keen to ensure this doesn't happen again.
It's my first time dealing with a nursery so before I ask them to reduce his intake, i wanted to check if this seems like too much food! Thanks!
