Dd came home with her nanny tonight, apparantly had not had much of a sleep in the day (that's not so unusual) and seemed quite tired and grumpy. She had had a bit of a cough/cold for a few days but has otherwise been fine.
After dinner we watched a bit of storymakers and she was very quiet, just sitting there with me which is not like her. Then she started crying and wouldn't stop, not really screaming, just crying. I thought maybe she was teething as she has been grabbing in her mouth a lot, gave her Calgel and some calpol.
She just sat on my lap having a cuddle and crying and crying. I sang to her for about 20 mins and finally she stopped crying and when I looked she was asleep. But it took me ages to wake her up - calling her name and shaking her arm. She seemed very floppy and much much tireder than usual - she normally has stories/bottle etc and is very lively right up to going to bed and has never fallen asleep on me like that and been so hard to wake up
She has no temperature.
Do you think I should ring NHS direct or could it just be the calpol making her sleepy. She has also had 5ml of tixylix cough and cold medicine which can make them sleepy but she has had that the last 2 nights too and has been fine (mind you I gave it to her just before bed the last 2 nights and about 40 mins ago tonight so maybe that's it)
Oh god i hate it when they do things like this.
