He doesn't want to eat? Or he is throwing up everything he is eating? If he doesn't want to eat, he's 3, he'll eat when he is hungry, but make sure he at least sits down with you at mealtimes with some food on his plate.
If he is throwing up, then try feeding him the BRAT diet. Bananas, rice, apples, toast. Also, try ginger ale. Not the Canada Dry stuff, but the real stuff, like Hansen's. That will probably help settle his stomach a little. The key is to keep him hydrated. If he becomes listless or his eyes look shallow, take him to the ER, he needs IV fluids. He might just have a stomach bug that is causing the vomiting, but dehydration is very serious.

This is pretty normal for the age group as their growth rate begins to slow significantly compared to the first year, requiring less calories. he will eat when hungry. Mine never eat well in this stage. Their appetite always moves in spurts in this phase. My 3-year-old daughter is now off the charts in height and weight though she was only 20th -50th %-ile the first 2 years. Just keep trying new things to see what is preferred, and he'll surley be fine."

ok, if he does not devour dinner its no longer likely to kill him and additionally you giving him a banana to compensate the reality that he did no longer devour dinner will in simple terms proceed the cycle of him no longer desirous to devour what you have cooked. whilst he's hungry for the dinner you made then he will devour it (re-supply dinner to him later). you will no longer be able to offer in to what he needs. Him twiddling along with his nutrition is a organic discovering technique and additionally you will possibly be able to't get mad. he's 15 months previous and could ought to study a thank you to self feed on his very own, ,meaning with a fork or spoon. My suggestion is he will devour whilst he's hungry and show you how to comprehend whilst he isn't. he's in all hazard drained by potential of the time dinner comes around and subsequently he isn't eating a lot.

He needs an emergency appointment with your GP...you shouldn't hang about with children. It dosn't matter the not eating so long as you get plenty of fluids down him. However, you really should not wait so long when they keep being sick.
