She is very lethargic. She isn't laughing very much. She just went around the shops in her buggy and didn't smile at anyone (very unusual). She is not eating very much either. She doesn't seem to have a temperature or any outward signs of illness but I am a bit worried about her.

hi Enid, I would be concerned too You know her better than anyone and this seems out of character..did she sleep badly last night.. just tired? If not and still not right I would ask to see GP this afternoon. Make sure they check her wee cos my dd1 had a water infection around the same age. Just need to rule it out. Big Hug

I took her to the gp

he could find nothing wrong so of course I then felt stupid

she didn't eat her lunch and I gave her some calpol - she is now rolling around on the floor giggling with dd2 and seems fine!

when in doubt, get the Calpol out

my one and only Mum Tip

Enid · 23/11/2006 15:21

I never give it usually unless there is obvious suppurating wound or screaming in pain

Teething perhaps?

oliveoil · 23/11/2006 15:25

are you going back to work?

Enid · 23/11/2006 15:26

no have handed notice in

they were really shitty about it as well so am feeling doubly pleased not to be going back

hope you got shitty back, tossers

well you can stay at home with your bambinos now then

would have been a juggling act with 3 I would have thought, bad enough with 2 and a MIL on hand 2 mins away
