hi well basically ds1 has always been a very sicky child, as a baby and when just breastfeeding he was fine but once i'd started weaning he would often be sick once he hit around 12 months(ish) i took him to the doctors a few times when younger and they just told me that he couldnt take a large amount of food in one sitting and would be better with smaller meals and plenty of snacking, as he has got older eating allot for him has more often then not made him sick and it is usually just after he has eaten or within 15 minuites or so. I have taken him back to the doctors but they have always said the same. He eats healthily and isn't a perticularly picky eater will eat most things. The last time i took him to the doctors about it was around 20 months back as i just get told the same all the time. Just lateley though (last 6 or seven days) he will hardly eat a thing, he has picked at meals had 4 or 5 bites then said he's stuffed and if i have persuaded him to take just 1 or 2 more bites he has been sick. He even woke in the night 3 nights ago from deep sleep and was sick which he has never done before. He is not ill in any other way and as it is pretty much food related im certain he's not got any bugs or viruses. I am phoning the doctor again thisafternoon when they re-open to make another appointment about this but i am so worried that if he keeps not eating much like he is at the moment he will get very ill (he is not underwieght on the centile charts btw he is just under 91st centile for hieght and between the 91st and 95th for wieght) was last done 6 weeks ago.
