Question

My son wakes up in the middle of the night and cries then throws up... has this happened to anyone else? ?

Answer 1

My son has night terrors where he will look like he's awake but he's not and will be crying continually. If he's throwing up definitely take him to the doctor.  

Answer 2

maybe he's nervous about something. how old is he? has anything changed in your life- new boyfriend, moved?

maybe he's trying to express something he can't say.

Answer 3

My son does that all the time.  He is 7 and has been doing it since he was a baby. Crying sometimes makes him throw up (hes puked in his bed more times than I can count), coughing makes him throw up, etc. His tonsils are naturally large, and almost touch (they are probably going to remove them) so he has a really bad gag reflex and thats whats causing the throwing up.  I would talk to your sons doctor and see if they can figure out whats up.  Good luck!  

Answer 4

YES IT HAS, EVERYTIME I WAKE UP AND SEE MY WIFES FACE.

Answer 5

Sounds like this is becoming a habit. To get him out of it you could try and wake him earlier (it might mean setting your alarm for the middle of the night for a couple of days). Wake him up and give him water or take him to the toilet, anything as an excuse to wake him then settle him back down. After 2 or 3 days he will hopefully be out of the habit. This worked for a friend of mine.
