Toddler being sick

[amber5]

Just finished cleaning up my DS - 3years old, who has covered himself, his bed and me in sick for the second time tonight. At what age might I expect him to get to the toilet to throw up??

OK, now just cleaned up forth lot of sick, put washer on for second time, bf DD 2m, and still not been to sleep despite going to bed at 11pm last night!! Any messages of support/ hope most welcome.

bumping this for you. my ds had a tummy bug about a month ago and at 16months what ever was closest got covered so much sympathy.

Ds can't even manage to get himself to the toilet to poo, so I doubt sick has much chance.

I suppose it depends how many times he's been sick in his life - it's a lot to do to recognise the feeling in time.

Have you thought of trying to get him to throw up into a bucket? My ds has been doing this for a while, maybe since he was 3.5. Although if he is sick at night, there isn't much success, probably because he is really not with it if he wakes in the night.

I hope your ds feels better soon.
