I don't know how it will work with the whole throwing up thing (Reya never did that, so not sure) but the only thing that works for Reya is for us to actually walk away to where she can't see us(in another room, which I realize you can't do for very long with Eli since he needs to be watched a lot closer due to his age). BUT she seems to calm down better on her own than when we try to console her. Not saying it will work for every kid, but you could try it?? He is a little young yet and I can't remember if we walked away from Reya when she was that young or if at that point we tried out best to console her just to get her through it, but at least now it seems that the more we try to bring her down from it, the longer it drags out. In any event, hope you find something that works...hang in there! Oh, aren’t tantrums grand?
