Child sick for a week

[Hope30]

My 3 yo was sick 7 days ago in the middle of the night and a couple of times the next morning. Ever since he has feel fine during the day and has been eating and drinking. But for 5 nights out of the last 7 he has been sick once, gone back to sleep and is ok again the next day. My daughter is experiencing similar but she has only been ill the last 3 nights. Is it normal for a sickness bug to go on this long and for the child to only be sick at night?

Try giving him the old fashioned diet for a couple of days - the white things like bread/ toast/ crackers/ plain pasta/ white rice. Not very exciting but will be gentler on his tummy and might help.

Also try an extra pillow so he is propped up a bit more.

What has he been drinking before bed?

He has been eating croissants, pancakes and weetabix over the last few days. He only ever gets water to drink and just had a small amount before bed. It’s so strange because he was not sick last night but has been again tonight. Just hoping it ends soon!
