    My son is the same at the moment with raisin toast. He's had gastro for 4 days and raisin toast is so far the only thing that he has been even remotely interested in eating so I'm going with it... raisin toast all day! Although he is still having breastmilk so I'm not too concerned.

    I would make him as comfortable as possible and let him eat what he will until he is better. Make sure he drinks a lot that will help. It won't hurt him to eat cereal. Hope he feels better soon.

    I'd make sure he got lots of water, and then I'd let him eat whatever he wanted. As long as he's eating something....breakfast cereal never hurt anyone. I'm hoping this isn't, like, Count Chocula. ;-)

    Hope he feels better soon.

    Poor little soul. If he has tonsillitis I'd let him eat anything he feels like eating.

    obviously that's not a problem -continue to offer other foods that are soothing to his throat. treat the pain, give him plenty of fluids, use bulb syringe & saline drops often to keep his airway clear, and wash all hands well. call the pediatrician.
