the other day was my sons 3rd birthday. he had a party at a kiddy gym place followed by maccas. then we took him for a swim(42 degree c day) in the afternoon at my parents place followed by pizza for dinner.

that night at around 1.30am a cry rang out from the back of the house.

i proceeded to his bedroom where i found him sitting up having a bit of a winge. I layed him back down on the bed and lay down beside him assuring him it was ok when all of a sudden..........

a large powerful stream of what was consumed that day launched from his little mouth. With the speed at which it happened i was unable to move anywhere and the projectile vomit made contact to my face entering my mouth, nose and eyes and also covered my chest.

I was torn between running to the toilet myself and setting him up to prevent any further spread of the goo which permeated from him. luckily my wife heard the commotion and came to the rescue as i stumbled trying to keep my stomach in and get to the bathroom in time.

it was a ghastly experience which i do not wish to revisit

Awww the poor little guy. Sad

Sounds like he had a lot of excitement and pizza. I remember being his age and attending a chili cookoff at my Mom's church. Of course, I had to sample every single pot. By the time I was done, my tummy was bursting. And burst it did! All over the floor. Now that I think back on it, I don't know how a kid my size could have possibly created a puddle that big. To this day, I can only eat chili in small amounts and never by itself. I hope he's feeling better. Very Happy

And what have we learnt , class?

Always keep a whinging child's head lower than yours. cuddled them in under your chin or tuck into the crook of your arm.

Oh, and keep a towel and bucket handy after those "exciting" days.

Isn't parenting fun? This will be the story you tell the girl of his dreams, or in your speech during the wedding. Childhood material is the best!

Was it real acidy? I hate that smell!

^ Baking Soda is good for getting rid of THAT smell.

^^ probably won't do the kid much good either.

Parents! Ignore your Nanny. NEVER feed baking soda to your child.

I didn't mean feed it to the kids!
I meant make up a paste and use it to clean up vomit spills.
Or add to a bucket of water
Or sprinkle over the puke

Yikes...
Sorry to hear about that and I hope your boy is feeling better.

Poor kid! I hope he's feeling better today. McDonalds then swimming then pizza? Oi. I am surprised you didn't spew yourself.

@nannyogg I think I will value that advice in a couple of years, thanks.

Yup they do that
Parents all frazzled walking around like those things from another thread, kids bouncing around looking for food and cartoons
I had one offspring hospitalised vomiting blood, staff crowded round, barrage of tests.
he woke up feeling fine, wanted to run about
They discharged him after he rugby tackled the Registrar.
