Similar to the other post flying around at the moment, but here goes…

The last two sunny days one of my daughters has been sick in the evening – her twin sister has been fine.

She was covered in sunblock all day, wore a hat, didn’t spend too much time in the sun, wore a swim suit covering most of her body, drank plenty and kept cool (playing in a pond/with a hosepipe at her grandparents).

So is this a co-incidence or is there anything else we can do?

playing in a pond/with a hosepipe at her grandparents

drinking pond/hose water?

Kids puke sometimes it’s what they’re good at.

It is an ornamental pond (ie, about an inch deep, no fish or plants, all marble and natural stone) and had been filled with fresh water that day, but yes that is a distinct possibility – she knows not to drink from it but her sister did give her a dunking of water over her head at one point.

You don’t have to be in the sun to get heat stroke – could well be that she just got a bit too warm.

We had this on Friday night. All good when they went to bed… then at 10pm one of them sick – the other fine (not twins, but spent all day together, ate the same stuff etc). After a nights sleep she was fine.

We put it down to just one of those things – maybe slightly too much sun, maybe not quite enough to drink, maybe a bug, maybe just over tired, maybe too hot.

Agree with Drac.
