My 2.5 year old is dealing with his first (and our first) stomach bug. He originally threw up Sunday night, nothing on Monday, with BRATY foods all day. We assumed he was better today so we gave him a regular breakfast. He threw it all up shortly thereafter. For lunch we gave him a BRAT lunch again, and he wolfed it down and said he's still hungry. Would you give him more?

Being hungry is usually a pretty good sign. I'd probably wait ~20 minutes after giving him some food to make sure it stays down and then give him a little more. Stick with BRAT foods for the rest of the day though.

I would do it exactly the same way as @Adira:
Sorry you guys aren't feeling well!
-
@Adira: @2littlepumpkins: Thanks guys, that sounds good. We just set him down with some Thomas. We'll see if he asks again.
-
@JennyPenny: Good luck! Stomach bugs are definitely hard. Hope he feels better soon.

I don't usually turn down a request for more food... but I would try to keep the portions small. Maybe a half a banana if he keeps asking.

I would try smaller portions more often throughout the day. Keep BRAT foods, but mostly snacking all day so that his stomach isn't being overloaded.
