I have a lo who attends 4 days a week and has not been very well. For the past 3 weeks now when I give him lunch he is sick, and I don't mean a little bit. I told the parents they should take him to the Doctors as it had been happening frequently and I found out that he had been doing this at least for a week at home after food but was not told. The Dr said there was sickness going round and gave dioralyte. Over the weekend lo is still being sick as I found out yesterday after he threw up over me. After dad asking if he should take him to the Drs. I said I would as he wasn't right (he is chesty and mucussy aswell) and he was still being sick with me and at home. Lo has tonsilitis and came to me today, I phoned dad just after lunch as lo had true to form thrown up on me yet again and it was all of the lunch (even though I had only given him over half less than usual). I don't have lo tomorrow and am going to phone Wednesday evening to see if he is still being sick. I think it could be more than being mucussy and having tonsilitis but am not sure what to do. It's not fair on lo to keep being sick after eating and I can't keep having him when he is. What do you think I should do? Lo is only 14 months and I am at a loss as to what to do.

Refuse to have him for 48 hours every time he is sick.

That may make them take him to the doctors and insist that this is not normal.

I would be really worried if he was mine.:panic:

That is strange to keep been sick could he of swallowed something. Does he smell funny around his face. My lo was poorly once temp and had a really strange smell musty it is hard to explain anyway i put her down to change nappy and saw something up her nose. She had been in the bath and a piece of sponge had been breathed up her nose. Luckily I could reach it but the smell was horrid. Soon cleared up though. Allergy? How long have you had him is he small for age poor appetite etc?
