2 year old vomiting at night

My daughter is two years old and this past Sunday she woke up vomiting. At the time we thought that most likely she had gotten into some bad food because her Father had picked her up a chicken tenders kids meal late that night when the place was about to close. Well she fell back to sleep that morning and when she woke back up she was fine. She was playing and running and laughing all day. She even rode a carousel! Well that night (Sunday)while she was sleeping she threw up again. She also threw up when she woke up that morning. When I say she's throwing up I'm not just talking about a small amount like spit up she is throwing up a lot. Well after she threw up that first time monday morning she was fine again all day and just as happy as could be. Again on monday night and Tuesday morning she threw up again.
I have been nursing my daughter every since she was born and I'm wondering if there is any way possible that somehow my milk is making her sick. She nurses a little during the day still but mostly at night because she sleeps in the same bed with me. She uses it to go back to sleep when she wakes up and to fall asleep in the first place. I don't think that it is the chicken anymore because it seems like that would keep her sick all day and not just at night. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello,
My little brother is nearly two years old and has been vomiting every night for five months now. Our Dr. we go to has done little to help up figure out the problem. I've been reading through the comments and am not sure what to do.
He will start coughing in his sleep, or awake during the day at times, and vomit. Other than than he'll be fine the entire day. He has regular bowel movements and eats just fine, but when he starts to coughing too hard he'll puke.
our Dr. thought it might be drainage from his sinus, but I don't think it would last 5 MONTHS. My poor folks are exhausted and at their wits end. HELP.

My son has been vomiting in the middle of the night too. I'm pretty freaked out since he often sleeps on his back. He doesn't wake up before, during, or after. It has been going on for about a week now, although there were three nights with no vomiting. This morning he seemed fatigued and a bit pale. After breakfast he was back to his normal self. He still has a decent appetite, although the past 2 days have been a bit less than normal. I plan on taking him to see his Dr. in the morning. I'll share what I learn if we get any answers. I appreciate all the comments, although scary, I'm glad most of the diagnosis were acid reflux or sinus issues.

Might be low sugar! Check into that
Did you ever get an answer?
This is an old post.  Are you having this issue with your kids.  I have a couple of thoughts.  I know that when my blood sugar is low in the morning when I get up, I am very nauseated.  I eat a bit and I feel better.  Also, when my son over eats or has fatty food such as hot dogs (he no longer eats these) or chicken wings, etc. . . .   he has vomited.  So, what about a light, healthy snack before bed?  I'd give that a try.

Oh my gosh, my 2 yr old daughter has been going through a similar situation described by many parents here: happy during the day, vomits at night but no fever and goes back to sleep just fine. I found this article and I think this will help most parents

I really hope it helps! I have yet to try it, but I think it will help.
