He has never been ill before, has no food intolerances and is well in himself. Its been going on all weekend on and off. Initially i stopped giving him milk for the morning then in the afternoon gave him half milk half water. He was fine. The funny thing is he ate his meals and wasnt sick at all until tonight. He wouldnt eat any tea, refused point blank his angel delight for pudding. So i made him a cheese spread sandwich which he just played with and picked at. He had his bath then at the bottom of the stairs threw up what little tea he had eaten. He has no temperature and has been a bit more sleepy than usual but not poorly as such.
What do you think? I have thrown away the milk in case its gone off (smelt ok) and bought a fresh carton today. Ds is 16 months and on full fat cows milk, Any ideas?
Im a bit freaked out as he is never ill.

Sometimes when they have a stomach bug children (or adults) can't tolerate dairy products. Apparently it curdles. Stay off dairy for a few days and see if it settles. That's what I do with mine and it seems to work. hth Wishing him better

As he's 16 months he should be ok. Just give water, maybe juice. It doesn't hurt to stay away from milk for a couple of days.
