What do I feed a 2.5 year old for dinner thats not well?

My DS has had a small bout of gastro or tummy bug thing today! Thrown up breakfast which was just toast with a small spread of vegemite. No butter or milk today! Then threw up his sandwhich for lunch all in the car when we ducked to the supermarket...Gross.....
All he has had is water, a lemonade icy pole and right now a salada with a small spread of pnut butter on it!
What should I make him for tea? His never been sick like this before?
I'm not sure what to put in his tummy!!!

My boys have the same

I am giving them plain pasta, nothing on it. He could even just munch a plain salada, his appetite is probably really low.
Hope your little one improves soon, just make sure he is getting plenty of water.

Stick to the salada's and maybe a bit of fruit. No dairy whatever you give him. Hope he is better soon.

Soup. I know it is warm weather but very plain chicken soup or something similar - it has some nutrients and is liquid, so will help to keep him hydrated

Second the plain pasta. Maybe in a little bit of broth if he'll do that, to get some fluids in.
If he's happy with saladas, keep going with those, but don't fuss if he doesn't want it.

I'd steer well clear of fruit.

Plain rice or plain pasta.
Keep a cup of water full so he can keep his liquid up.

When DS1 has gastro two weeks ago he ate the Heinz Baby Fruit Gels when he was hungry.

Thanx girls.....think it has past now.....He ended up with plain pasta and fish fingers for tea (his request) then during the night it all came back up...gross cos I only found out around 4am when feeding my 7month old...my mummy instincts thought i should check on him!
Then all day today no spews or poos so I think he is over it!!!
Buuuuuuttttttt........Who knows what tomorow will bring! Thanx girls for the advice!!!!

When unwell maybe try giving wholemeal pasta over white. It's easier to digest. Rice pasta as well isn't as heavy. I found both of those easier on my tummy when i has bad morning sickness with DD and I was less likely to bring the lot up.
