why is my boy sick at 10.30 pm 3 nights in a row

Hi All Wise Formites

My little boy (3) has been sick the last 3 nights at around 10.30pm? He doesn't complain of belly ache or feeling in well and it's not continuos sick just once and then he is fine.

He has had a really snotty cold this week and insists on sniffing instead if blowing so I was wondering if it's a build up of snot and mucus resting on his chest/belly that's making him throw up? what you guys reckon?

I hope it passes soon my washing pile is enormous!

There is a stomach bug going round, my 4 year old had it the other night, then i got it, then our 8 month old and now my partner has it.

Could it be something he is eating? I had something similar with my son when I was weaning him - every day he would be sick at precisely 2pm. I kept being told it was a virus, until I worked out he was being sick 2 hours after giving him mashed potato. It turns up he had a potato allergy (yeah I know, rare, comfirmed by tests). When I stopped feeding him potato at 12pm for luch he stopped being sick at 2pm.

If it continues then I'd look at the allergy route as my son is dairy and soya allergic and was accidentally eating both and for the last 6 weeks was vomiting nightly, a week ago I stripped it all out and he hasn't been sick since x

We had that a little while ago with our almost 3 year old. She had a slight cough, and we figured she was coughing after her milk in her sleep, and the mucus was making her throw up. It passed after a couple of nights....
