Vomiting every night at 10pm/11pm - milk?
« on: November 24, 2006, 23:12:09 pm »
There's something very strange going on with Zander at the moment!  He's well during the day and eating plenty but 3 times this week and a couple of other times lately he's thrown up (lots!) around 3 or 4 hours after he's gone to bed.  He has his dinner at 5pm and 8oz of either cow's milk or toddler formula right before he goes to bed.  I'm pretty sure the one night this week he wasn't sick was the night I experimented with giving him his milk in a sippy cup so he didn't drink any!  Has anybody ever heard of anything similar happening?  He doesn't have a cold/cough as such at the moment but he always coughs right before he's sick and I know I have lots of phlegm at the back of my throat at the moment.  It's almost as if the milk's sitting undigested waiting for him to cough and throw it all back up.  Any ideas?

Thanks - I wasn't sure whether to post here or the medical board so feel free to move if necessary.

I'm sorry this is happening poor you and little man.
Question ... Did he have reflux as a baby?

Hi

He wasn't a reflux baby.

Well, I do know that milk tends to make me get thick in the back of my throat when I have phlegm (when I have/getting a cold or when it is really dry, say in the winter with the house heat) and OFTEN times I cough to try and raise it and I vomit.  I would perhaps either not give him the milk before bed til he is phlegm-less, perhaps water it down a bit, or have him lay with his head elevated in the bed.  Maybe he is about to get a cold, poor bub.

If he isn't having trouble with said milk any other time during the day, I would tend to think it's not the actual milk but a combo of laying and milk and coughing.  Just my opinion!  :-*

I hope it stops soon.

That's really interesting that you say that Zoey as sounds like it could be that.  He is ok with milk during the day and is also fine for the rest of the night once he's been sick.  He has a pillow so his head is already elevated - now that problem of figuring out how to fit his milk in without doing it right before bedtime, will have to see if he wants it straight after dinner I suppose!

Thanks
