my 2.5yr old gets weirdly dizzy sometimes after doing something vigorous ie bouncing on little trampoline/ rocking fast on the setee.

this has happened twice in about 3 months

she has no earache/ headache and is generally healthy
should I be worried?

by weirdly dizzy I mean dizzy for too long, where she gets frightened and bursts into tears

'mummy Im spinning'

poor thing, I have no expert advice on this but better to get it checked out anyway. Could just be that her iron levels are low?

does iron or lack of it make you dizzy?

she is not eating brilliantly at the moment tbh, because we all have colds, hmmm

yes lack of iron definitely makes you dizzy. when I was pregnant (later on in the pregnancy) I always used to get dizzy spells, they checked my iron & it was low, gave me iron tables & I felt much better
of if you're saying she's not eating very much, maybe it's just lack of energy. good luck

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
