Over the last couple of months my 3.5 year old DS has started complaining that he's tired all the time. He's more moany and tearful than he used to be (he was never really a moany child at all before in fact!) and more likely to fall asleep in the afternoons despite having given up having a daytime sleep almost a year ago.
He's had a couple of bugs since Christmas so I don't know if he's just taking a while to fully recover. Or if, having been unwell he's just gotten used to being moany. Or if there's something else wrong.
One thing in particular I was wondering about is if he could be anemic as his diet isn't great. He's on a completely dairy free diet to start with and is fairly picky on top of that. Some days he comes home from nursery having only eaten toast, cucumber and apple juice for lunch. He does eat things like peanut butter and eggs but hardly eats any meat, fish or chicken unless it's in the form of a nugget. I've been giving him a multi-vitamin and a calcium supplement every day but I'm not sure it's making any difference.
Any advice or suggestions would be gratefully received!
