I would consult my paed and if he agreed I would give DS a motilium suppository shortly after take off. Or any other form of anit nausea medication. Be careful though, some anti nausea meds make children drowsy...which may seem like a great idea but it is not recommended these days.

I would go little and often and be careful not to overfeed, more liquid foods are digested faster (so if he still accepts fine purees they could be a good idea) and avoid anything too greasy/starchy. and take plenty of spare clothes ;)

Hi! Turbulence doesnt seem to bother him, its usually not long after he has fed :( He rarely vomits after we feed him, it only usually happens when we are flying

When he vomits on the flight is it when there's turbulence or does that make no difference? :(

Hi, Next week we are flying to the UK with our 11 month DS. On four of the previous six flights DS has thrown up, and not just a little bit! He has been fine before and after vomiting, it just seems that nothing wants to stay in his stomach when we are in the air. I wonder if there's anything I could do to help prevent him being sick? Its a day flight and he will be due his lunch during the flight. If I fed him little and often would this be better than giving his lunch in one go? Are there certain foods that would digest quicker, or that I should avoid? Any advice appreciated. TIA:)
