don't know why I didn't just look it up like that last time... Brains all over the place at the moment.
After DS was sick last night, its been puzzling me, coz he was sick on Fri, Mon and Thurs...which didn't seem to ring true for a tummy bug. He was begging me to give him milk this morning but I didn't want to upset his tummy...but had this niggle that something else was wrong.
I rang my HV, who is Wonderful. She had been doing some research for me because a while ago, James had been coming home and hitting me, so it was a good chance to catch up.
I talked through his recent poorliness and she said it tied in with what she'd found out...he's frustrated and upset by something that happens at nursery during the day, and then comes home and 'tells' me by hitting me. We have a particularly good communication between us which is has been observed by the HV on many occasions which is why she feels it is about him telling me something rather than just being stroppy. He'd always been a very placid baby.
With the recent sickness, she feels that this too, is being caused by stress. I just found out this afternoon that his little friend who he played with all the time left nursery nearly two weeks ago. I think this may be why he's so stressed that he's throwing up. I've also noticed that he's absolutely exhausted alot of the time that he's home and this is contributing. My poor little boy. I need to try and find a way to make him happier and I wonder if going down to toddlers might actually help him? Hmmm.
Sorry for long post rant....just nice to get it off my chest and you lot are so good at letting it all pass by...I'm not trying to hijack or anything...just to get it out of my head.
OK, as you were...
group therapy anyone?
