Appetite after stomach bug

How long did it take for your little ones appetite to get back to normal after a stomach bug? My son was last sick on Monday and only wants to drink milk or eat veggie sticks. I know it can take some time but I’m worried he’s not eating enough!

My Little is currently really picky with food But had his review recently, and the Health Visitor said their bellies are like petrol tanks … they don’t need filling up every day… some days they’ll eat more than other days. And they won’t ever let themselves go hungry. So as long as you’re offering and doing your best to keep reminding him to eat- that’s absolutely perfect. Keep offering drinks of course too. If after a couple of weeks, you can’t get him to eat anything more than milk or snack bits then perhaps chat to your GP about a referral to a dietician. 🥰

@Chloe hi thanks for your comment. He’s never usually picky, it was more of a question of how long does it take for their appetite to get back to normal after a sickness bug. Definitely don’t need a dietician but thanks for ur help x

I was more referring to the fact that even if he’s not eating much (like mine doesn’t occasionally ), my health visitor advised they’ll come out the other side it’s not unusual.
