Our DS, 16 months, goes to a Cambridge nursery 3 days a week. In the last week he has had two bouts of violent D&V separated by 5 days. I assumed the first bout was a virus, but now I'm beginning to wonder if it's food poisoning. He was 100% better when I sent him to nursery this morning, and 2 hours after arriving home, very lethargic, he threw up the entire contents of his stomach again.
I don't want to be paranoid, and I KNOW children pick stuff up all the time. But we have been worried for some time about the rather laissez faire attitude of some staff to health and safety and hygiene. Can any parents out there "reassure" me that there is, in fact, a virus or series of viruses going around, and it's not just our nursery? Or does vomiting separated by 5 days raise alarm bells? FWIW he's happy at nursery, and doesn't ever make himself sick for emotional reasons.
