Keep BRAT foods, but mostly snacking all day so that his stomach isn't being overloaded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-sick-toddler-asking-for-more-food#post-2700642 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 12:42:31 +0000 psw27 2700642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-sick-toddler-asking-for-more-food#post-2700638 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 12:39:28 +0000 Adira 2700638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: Good luck! Stomach bugs are definitely hard. Hope he feels better soon. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-sick-toddler-asking-for-more-food#post-2700636 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 12:37:22 +0000 JennyPenny 2700636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @2littlepumpkins: Thanks guys, that sounds good. We just set him down with some Thomas. We'll see if he asks again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-sick-toddler-asking-for-more-food#post-2700635 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 12:35:06 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2700635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it exactly the same way as @Adira: </p> <p>Sorry you guys aren't feeling well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-sick-toddler-asking-for-more-food#post-2700621 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 12:13:52 +0000 Adira 2700621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-sick-toddler-asking-for-more-food#post-2700620 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 12:10:30 +0000 JennyPenny 2700620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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? </p>
