I think the other issue with milk is that too much constipates him, which others have mentioned has been an issue with the puking.

I do think that most of the times she's vomited she's had a "reason" except for the most recent one. However, she was home with grammy and not at her regular daycare so maybe grammy gave one too many treats or something? @littlecasita1122: how old was your son when you discovered he was sensitive to regular milk? @brownie: I have a close friend who's daughter got so backed up she ended up in the ER and on miralax, and honestly I think that is part of my worry!! The ER told them that even a kid who poops regularly can still be backed up and have problems so that just makes me worry. @misolee: I am almost positive that I why she threw up after that birthday celebration and the more I think about it that could be the reason for the most recent one too... grammy is visiting and maybe she gave her one too many treats (?) @catlady: I always check for fevers and she only had a low grade one during the first episode. I think she had a virus that time b/c she was lethargic and pale and just not her normal self for about 2 whole days. the odd thing was that she started to be normal again and no vomit for about 36 hours and then bam she vomited again! But that was it and she was ok after that. brownie on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2311372 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 05:08:34 +0000 brownie 2311372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son went through a few months were e would vomit for a week and then almost exactly 1 month later it would happen again. We found out he was completely backed up. We did the miralax to empty him and then pulled him off of liquid milk. We haven't had an incident in over a year. So random vomiting is possible. Keep an eye on things and look for a pattern but don't stress.

One time he threw up twice within 10 days so we started limiting his regular milk intake and subbed almond milk more for a month or so. Now he's drinking half regular, half almond milk during the day. I was thinking it helped until he threw up once last week - but he did also have a fever on and off last week, so I think he was fighting a bug. We've also learned he eats way too much too fast so we're careful with that. When he has a true stomach bug, he will throw up multiple times, every 30 minutes for a few hours, so these random pukes every few months or so are just weird! misolee on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2311031 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 17:25:51 +0000 misolee 2311031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My friend has a daughter (3 yr) who randomly throws up. It's especially bad if she eats a lot of sweets. It upsets me more than my friend bc I haven't thrown up since like 3rd grade but her girl is fine after the throw up. Lately on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310993 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:49:18 +0000 Lately 2310993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We've had 4 seemingly random vomiting episodes in the span of a month and a half, and I had the same questions as you. All of our episodes can be explained by some combination of just having gorged herself on a lot of food, travelling in the car with DH (his driving sometimes makes me feel ill), and being congested. She has been perfectly fine after each episode. She had a stomach bug once and it was much different. She threw up a few times in a 24-hour period and she was very pale and lethargic after those. catomd00 on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310992 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:46:15 +0000 catomd00 2310992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I threw up a lot as a child because of a narrowing at the end of my esophagus. I also just have a sensitive stomach. Neither were cause for concern and I have mostly grown out of the "issues" over time. I don't think your daughters episodes sound concerning. travellingbee on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310978 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:23:54 +0000 travellingbee 2310978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Only when he has a stomach virus. Never from teething. Once he threw up because he had a hair in his mouth and gagged himself trying to get it out. Otherwise, if he pukes, he is sick. catlady on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310971 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:09:41 +0000 catlady 2310971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My 2 year old would probably have thrown up in all the circumstances you described. She seems to just have a sensitive stomach. She seems to throw up whenever she has a fever, or cough too hard, or ride in the car for more than 20 min. I usually watch for fevers and don't worry about it too much as long as she is acting normal. I can usually tell when something is actually wrong because she will get very lethargic after vomiting (that is usually when she has an actual illness). jmarionsmith on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310963 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:01:54 +0000 jmarionsmith 2310963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Does she have congestion when she throws up? Some kids are more prone to throwing up when they have some post nasal drip going on. My son threw up once in the middle of the night because he ate too much junk food one day (thanks to grandma...) Madison43 on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310956 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 14:50:04 +0000 Madison43 2310956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had a stretch where my daughter threw up at the same time every night for more than a week. Aside from being upset about throwing up, she was otherwise fine. Our ped had no idea what was going on, but prescribed an antacid to take at nighttime and it cleared things right up. mrbee on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310951 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 14:36:48 +0000 mrbee 2310951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our son threw up a fair amount and it turned out to be a dairy allergy... once we switched to an alternative milk, then he stopped throwing up!

My vote is it's just random bad luck you had so many in a row. Ajsmommy on "Random Throw Ups in Toddler" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-throw-ups-in-toddler#post-2310918 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 13:52:53 +0000 Ajsmommy 2310918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD is 23 months old. Was never a spitter upper and generally doesn't get sick very often. Lately, meaning within the past 3 months she's vomited about 5 times. The first time was two vomits during the night with low grade fever. She seemed to perk up after 36 hours and then vomited again once. Then went back to normal the next day. We went two weeks and then she vomited again, however that day we had a huge crab feast and DD was fed lots of sweets (it was a bday celebration) and she was passed around to aunts/grandparents and I think she had some cupcake/ice cream with ever one!! OOPS. Anyway we just assumed that is why she vomited. Well we went a week and a half and then she got constipated and she vomited once. And then last night about 2 weeks after the last time she randomly started coughing as I was changing her diaper and she vomited again. When she was done she was fine and ready to go to bed. She slept great and is fine today. Is this normal?? Do toddler's just vomit randomly??? Should I be concerned or am I worrying for nothing? Anyone else have toddlers do this?
