Surprised by how unwell DS in after MMR

[tryingtobemarypoppins]

He had the MMR last week and has had slight temp, vomiting, off his food, very clingy etc etc. Anyone else had this, I didn't expect him to be so unwell.

Sorry to hear that. Bumping for you.

Thanks puzzlerocks. He has had such a bad day! Feeling crap with the MMR, just getting better after terrible nappy rash and to top it all bashed his nose today and gave himself a nose bleed! I need of lots of mummy love! I feel soooooooooo bad!!!!

Oh bless him. I hope he feels much better tomorrow.

Hi - MMR was a few months ago for us, but I remember my HV saying that if there is a reaction, it generally takes a week to ten days to show. I do recall DS wasn't v well for a while, but as he's at nursery it was hard to tell whether it was down to MMR or any of the many other bugs circulating...

Re the nappy rash - try Metanium (the yellow tube of stuff), I've found it great and it was recommended by friend whose baby had v bad rash.

Hugs to you and your poor DS; take lots of cuddle time and read books together...

Ah thank-you, Yes Metanium is working well, stains everything but bottom is on the mend. Lots of cuddles tomorrow xx

Poor lad. I hope he feels better soon. X
