For a few months now DD keeps saying she has a tummy ache. When she does I rub her tummy and judgin by her reaction and subsequent normal behaviour it either just vanishes within minutes or is monir enough for her not to notice.
At first I thought it was because she regularly eats sand when she plays in the sandpit so we reduced her access to it. However it has still gone on and for a while I thought it was attention seeking but now I'm not so sure.
She complains of a tummy ache several times a day (and occasionally at night too) but is eating well, pooing normally, looks great, stomach feels soft to touch and she doesn't demonstrate any pain / discomfort if I do feel her tummy and is generally thriving.
I'm going to take her to a GP next week but in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone else's LO has done the same. Was it attention seeking or was something actually wrong?
