Hi All , My DD is 7 months old and has spent the past 2 weeks with some sort of illness ! The latest has left her not feeding and not many wet nappies ! We are at the doctors later this afternoon but i constantly feel on edge and cant seem to focus on anything else as i spend all my time in a state of worry. My partner tries to be supportive but i feel like im the one that bares all the worry of our little girl ! Has anyone else
been through this ? Does it get better ? Thanks in advance :-)

Oh my babies are so stressful.

Make sure you rule everything out. Get the doctor to strip baby and do a once over. Ears everything. If doctor is happy and you feel confident, then unfortunately babies are sent to worry us silly. Sometimes they just reduce their appetite sick a bit.

2 weeks is a long time to be poorly. Has she had a temp? Try to write down what she’s eaten and what she’s pooed etc.

@GoodStuufAnnie Thanks for your reply , she first had a cold , then HF&M (both went to see the GP with) and spent the end of last week getting phlegm stuck in her throat and throwing that up. Yesterday she only took one feed and refused any attempt at others then the same again today , she has also had diarrhea and no only 2 wet nappies in 24hrs. She is happy enough when playing but i spend the whole time in some state of worry ! Will she eat ? Has she pooped ?Has she had a wee ? How much sleep has she had ect !! I feel like im going out of my mind :-( xx Will deffo ask the Doc to check everything xx
