WIBU to take my baby to the go because he's sleeping so much?

About a week ago, I noticed my baby was becoming quite lethargic, wanting to go to bed quite soon after getting up, lying on the ground and seeming exhausted. He is eleven months old. It became progressively worse until Saturday, when I became very concerned and called 111. They recommended an out of hours clinic. Shortly after I hung up, he threw up absolutely everywhere - mega sick. When we were at the out of hours clinic, he was doing unholy smelling farts but no poo. Saw doctor and explained, he checked him over and said probably just a virus. I felt reassured and went home. He had slightly sloppy poo the next day and that was that.

He's still extremely tired. He's not had a temperature at all in the past week, hasn't cried more than usual, hasn't seemed to feel unwell, no more sick or bad poo, but he spent most of yesterday asleep. He had three naps, which he hasn't done since he dropped the third one at six months, and when I went in to wake him up for tea he didn't even try to lift his head because he was so tired - just tried to move his eyes to look at me. He'd normally stand up.

He's just woken up quite a bit later than usual, at ten to 8, had a breastfeed and gone back to sleep. It's making me panic that there is something wrong and it's not just a virus. Would it be unreasonable of me to see the gp even though I saw a doctor on Saturday? Or should I give it a few more days?

How is he doing now OP? Did you take him to the GP?

Thanks for the messages, sorry I didn't respond. I didn't take him to the gp in the end, he seemed OK that day, then seemed very tired again on the weekend, so continued to doubt myself and didn't know whether I was doing the right thing. Then he came down with a cold! So he had a cold, then a virus which made him throw up, then another cold. I am putting the sleepiness down to the recurring illnesses now. Thanks for asking Smile
