I woke up to my daughter coughing during the night and sent my husband in to check on her. Her whole mattress was covered in vomit, and she appeared to be still sleeping. We got her up, bathed her and scrubbed everything down. This happened about half an hour after her early morning bottle of milk (4 ounces). She threw up again when I was drying her off after her bath, and again about 20 minutes after we put her back to bed. She seems fine now, and ate her lunch as usual. I gave her a sippy cup of Pedialyte (which she loved!) to try to replace the lost fluids. She does not have a fever. What could have caused this? This is the first time she’s EVER been sick. I did check her milk, and it is not spoiled or expired. Last night was the first time she ate very much pasta (we made turkey pasta casserole) and it seemed unchewed when I was cleaning it off her sheets. Do noodles do this to toddlers? Should I not give her pasta again? Or is it more likely that she picked up a stomach bug at our playgroup (first ever) 2 days ago?
