DS3 has never been a big eater. He loves milk (cows) and as a veteran of dealing with a milk-monster (DS1) I know that I need to cut this down to allow him to eat more.
Over the last couple of weeks he has been doing this 'gagging' thing. Sometimes after eating, when he'll bring up what he's eaten, but it's not vomiting. And sometimes even before, when he sees food.
This morning, for example, he ate few spoonfulls of cereal before...well it's almost like a choking thing...gagging and bringing it back up. He's fine with fluids, though.
He's otherwise well, has a bit of a cold at the moment - but all of the Bubble boys are a bit wintery/snotty of late.
I'll make an appt with the GP tomorrow but I wondered if anyone has come across this before.
I've googled and found loads of info about gastro stuff in newborns but not anything that would start suddenly in a nearly 3 YO. He managed to eat some spaghetti this evening but it was very slowly (no probs with that) but he's been picking at food for the last few days and he doesn't have the body fat to lose.
He had a very traumatic birth and nearly died. He was checked over thoroughly at birth as the paeds wanted to make sure that his gut hadn't been compromised to maintain brain oxygen supply. All was deemed to be OK. I can't imagine that there could be a delayed effect anyway. Either he was damaged at birth or this is a new thing. And although he has always been a poor eater this gagging thing is new.
