Has your child thrown up from eating too much chocolate?
I have worked hard to help my 3 yo know his body and appetite and also i do restrict sugary foods
But yesterday i wanted to see how he does by himself when i gave him lunch, then chocolate nuts then a whole easter egg… he threw up and i feel so guilty. I saw him trying to regulate his intake of the last big choc egg and i thought i filled him up with lunch and nuts before the chocolate. But he kept stopping and then we stayed at table chatting so he would start nibbling more choc again 🫠 i feel really bad, he has never over eaten this way before. So guilty, in my defence me n hubby were at table discussing MIL in hospital for heart attack but should have paid more attention

Don't beat yourself up. It happens
If we told them “don’t eat all that you’ll get a tummy ache” they would just be upset they can’t eat it all, Might as well let them get that little tummy ache and then they know “oh yeah this really does not make me feel well” haha they have to learn somehow 🖤

I don’t let my oldest have any sweets or sodas really she has combo ADHD so we limit it a lot. I have to be constantly reminding her if we’re at a birthday party or something to watch the sweets because she’s thrown up numerous times from eating too much sweets her body isn’t used to it. It may not have been that he overate just the amount of sugar he consumed.
