How to deal with a puker

[GingerDoodle]

Sorry for the rather crass title but my just turned 2 daughter has learnt to make herself sick when she is upset. She did it at bedtime first a month ago and i've watched her trying with temper tantrums this last week - yesterday she did it repeatedly as she was over tired and I had stopped her unpacking the clean washing then wouldn't (couldn't) carry her round till Daddy got home.

Has anyone else had this? How do you deal with it?

TIA

What do you do when she does it?

more love?

Poocatcher. Were you meaning to be sarcastic?

I think you just clean her up and don't make too much of a fuss TBH op. She might soon get bored of it.

I find it very hard to deal with to be honest. I try and calm her down and clean her up as by that point there is no reasoning with her (the little than can be done with a 2 year old!)

There is very little you can do to reason with a 2 yr old. They are inherently irrational creatures. A friend's chikd did this and she did grow out of it fairly quickly. Can see why it would be upsetting to you. I'm sure it isn't your fault

When my daughter was going through a crazy tantrum phase the nursery manager who had grown up children told me a story to make me feel better I think, but said her then toddler daughter would get so worked up she would make herself sick and she solved this by putting her in the empty bath and leaving her to calm down, then would quietly clean her up and set about the next activity without bringing attention to it.

My DS used to vomit if he got upset, he honestly couldn't help it, it isn't always deliberate, stress vomiting I think it's called.

I used to try intervene & distract before he got to vomiting stage, nothing I could do though if he was upset due to being hurt or unwell.
