I'm not sure why but DS is nearly four and never really had a tummy bug...tonight he woke up about 90mins ago and threw up on the bed. He was upset and said his tummy hurt, he's been sick a few more times since then - tries to drink a bit of water, it comes back up, also asked for milk but that too returns...
He seems cheerful now and we're watching a Bug's Life together, but he keeps running to the loo and says his tummy still hurts a bit.
Is there anything I should be giving him, I've never really had to deal with this!
(Preschool syndrome again I think...has already had all the colds this year )

you might be asleep now, but i think you should just make sure he takes water even if it comes back up again, to stop him becoming rehydrated. avoid milk. if its a bug i think it can make it worse. sorry, i dont think i'm much help, but saw no one had answered your post and wanted to tell you what my mum always says!

Thanks Egypt, he seems better this morning, had a good sleep and two bottles milk...hopefully staying down this time!
Will remember your advice for next time
Thanks for answering.

Ice lollies/ icecubes to suck are good for keeping hydrated when liquids just come straight back up.
