It's hard when there young, I'm lucky in that my children (apart from eldest) very rarely gets sick.
I was up the hospital with my sister and nephew last week as they thought he might have sepsis.
Bloody scarey, turned out it was a throat infection (he is 15 months).
Children love to keep us on our toes, and a constant worry.
Hope your lo gets better soon.

Oh my gosh thank god it was a throat infection that must have been terrifying they really are hardy creatures though I think they deal with it better than adults sometimes!! All the best xxx

Hope that your little one is improving? Does he go to nursery? Feel for you as I hate when mine are poorly.

Yes one poorly 14 month old here. Took her to toddler group for the first time the other day and every other child had a streaming nose now she's really poorly with a cold, bad throat and also teething too. 😥

Cannot be helped of course but I wish I could take it away from her.

I'm just waiting for my five year old to get ill. He seems to pick up quite a few illnesses from school.

Hope your son feels better soon!

Guessing a nasty virus temp has stayed at 38.1 all day and guess what husband has buggered off to a friends ands left me too it. So been awake since midnight. Sod the chores today

My nearly two year old has just came out in chicken pox which explains the extreme whingeyness we've had all weekend but I have a 6 month old here too so praying they don't both end up with it at the same time!

Hope your little ones all start perking up soon :)
