toddler throwing up

posted 3rd Nov '11
Last night Nate was sleeping with me and I was woken up to him throwing up. This happened twice. So this morning he woke up in a good mood, peed in the potty (yay!) and took a bath. I got him dressed and he had breakfast...threw up. So I gave him a little pedialyte ....about an hour later, threw it up. He keeps telling me he wants a drink...but I'm scared it won't stay down. I gave him some dilluted juice and so far so good.
He's had a cold the last week or so...but now this.

Should I give him liquids/light foods....or just avoid it?

VERY small amount so he doesn't puke it up. I'm talking syringe fulls. It's a pain in the ass but unfortunately that's all you can do if he's just going to puke anything more up.

Definitely liquids and feed him bland, gentle foods. You never want to withhold fluids, just avoid milk or other hard on the tummy things. Juice, pedialyte, water.

It is not uncommon for a prolonged cold to result in vomiting. Just keep him hydrated.

my daughter recently had the same thing. she had a cold and was throwing up. i think its just something going around all of my neices and nephews have had it recently too. i gave her lots of water and juice (half water, half juice) and dry foods (cereal, pasta, toast, etc.) i mean you dont want him to puke but you dont want him to starve either lol. anything in his tummy is better than not trying.

Let me some sips of something. He's probably dehydrated from throwing up so much. Just don't let him gulp it. Try giving him some dry toast too if he's hungry.

I'd just give him liquids for now. Then after a few hours, he hasn't thrown up, then maybe try giving him solids, like a few crackers or maybe a half of a banana.

Hope you little guy feels better!

Don't ever with hold liquids to someone who is vomiting. First, they have to stay hydrated second, dry heaving on an empty stomach is way more painful than throwing up swallowed liquids. Keep giving him water and pedialyte as much as possible. When he seems to be feeling better introduce some solids like mashed potatos, plain macaroni or rice and see if he keeps it down.
