Day care drama or sick?
My son started at a daycare two weeks ago and things have been crazy since he started. He used to stay with a nanny/desi aunty and had been going to her since he was 7 months old (now almost 3.) Aunty wasn’t teaching him much or training him so we decided to start him a local day care. First day he cried all day long, but the crying stopped as we moved towards that Friday. I have been packing food for him, but he isn’t eating much of it. He stopped eating breakfast as well, which I am fine with since he gets to school at 8:30 and they serve a snack at 9 and lunch at 11am. 2nd week of school started, he was completely fine Monday and Tuesday, no crying, ate more of his lunch. BUT the rest of the week didn’t eat or drink milk while at the day care.
Last Friday, I took him to the doctor and she suggested this is his way of showing that he is mad. Saturday, at home, he had full lunch and when I gave him milk, he threw up. He threw up 3 times on Saturday (twice by force, putting his finger in his mouth). He was acting fine, and I figured he ate too quickly. I didn’t give him any milk on Sunday, no throw ups on Sunday. We gave him a bottle at night time. Monday (yesterday,) he ate a little bit of the lunch at daycare, and had reg. dinner at home around 6:30pm. Around 9, his bedtime, I gave him some milk and he finished it quickly…and then he threw up (just the milk.) while he was asleep my husband gave him milk and he was fine.
Today in the AM, he finished his fresh orange juice and he forced himself to throw up again :{
Now I don’t know what to do. I am super worried. LO is a picky eater, but not eating even his favorite items at the daycare. He is popping fine. He has never before done the force throwing up before.
Do you guys think this is just day care adjustment thing, or something more serious? If this continues, I will take him to the doctor again in few days.
Any similar experiences or advice?
