DP is away until Friday, I've got a 2 year old and a 5 month baby and I've woken this morning minging cold!
I know there are worse problems in the world but I feel fucking awful (snotty, shakey, wheezy, my skin hurts and I've had sod all sleep) and I've got no one to help Sad
How on earth do I entertain the children and not keel over? Any tips please!?

Oh no!! I feel your pain. I have a 19mo and 7mo.

Is your 2yo able to play independently in a park? Soft play so you can just hold baby and watch? Sainsbury's café for lunch. Can you manipulate baby naps so they nap together? I co sleep with my youngest at lunch so I can get a guaranteed nap if I need one. Lots and lots of paracetamol, nurofen, etc

If not breast feeding, all the drugs you can, lots of tv. Get out to the park whilst the drugs have kicked in, fresh will help you all. Tesco order for some nice snacky no prep food. Lots of coffee, sleep when you can? Poor you, get better soon

Thank you, I am feeling pretty sorry for myself, I think I do need to toughen up! I'm breastfeeding so am stuck with paracetamol, even bloody throat lozenges say to check if you are breastfeeding!?
I'm going to bundle everyone up and stand outside while toddler goes mad in the park and pray they sleep at the same time....
