My 18month old ds has just finished antibiotics for a chest infection. His chest seems better and he's more lively but he has totally lost his appetite for the last 10 days or so. He is a big boy and usually eats a vast amount but now is barely picking at food. He always has a 7oz bottle (while cows milk) before bed. Had gone off it for about a week but started taking whole bottle again.
For the last 3 nights he has woken up between midnight and 4am and projectile vomited all over his bedroom. It's all undigested food and milk. After vomiting he settles back to sleep well and seems fine through the day, except for lack of appetite.
I don't want to bother the dr again after him being there last week for chest infection as they're so busy this time of year.
I was wondering if it might be the milk causing him to vomit? He's never had any trouble with allergies before. Was bf until 9 months old, had a few weeks of formula then been on whole milk since. I'm not familiar with what alternatives I could offer. I know they don't recommend soya milk. I usually wouldn't be too concerned about him missing milk but with virtually no food intake I'm worried he's missing out on nutrients etc.
Any advice? Experience? I'm really worried.
