Help!! 1 year old vomiting and screaming at bedtime...
Hi Ladies
Can anyone shed any light on this situation. So until now we have been blessed with a fantastic wee sleeper. DS has recently turned 1, and for the last week we go to pop him into bed, with his final bottle, he finishes this, we leave him to go to sleep, and he is then SCREAMING the house down, like he is hurt or petrified of something, then he typically finishes off with a power vomit (a lot) everywhere. DH has held him tightly and cuddled him to sleep a couple of nights as well, while he is in this frenzy of being so upset., and he just cries himself to sleep.
Now traditionally he has quite a lot of milk before bed - about 360mls, do you think that this is just too much now and his tummy can't cope with that volume anymore? It is what we have been doing for months, but I think he is eating more during the afternoon and at dinner, so perhaps that is it? He isn't stopping drinking his milk however, and he isn't normally a glutton, and we typically demand feed. Ot maybe I need to give him longer between his dinner and bottle/bedtime (currently he just has a bath inbetween)?
Does anyone have any thoughts or is there anything that happens when they hit the magic 1 number that I need to know about. The problem is that we are flying to NZ on Thursday - 24hours of travelling, and the appeal of dealing with a baby who is screaming like we are trying to murder him, and then vomiting over us is not high on the list of 'things to do'...
Poor little monkey, he seems so distressed, and I am finding it really upsetting too.. any suggestions are welcome!
edited to add: I don't think he is sick (he is still recovering from a cough/cold) but no other symptoms at all... so just bedtime drama
