experienced mummys.... what's up with my kid?

[nickytwotimes]

and more to the point, what am i going to do with him all day??!! he's normally a cheery wee soul but the last few days he's been very grumpy and sleepy too. he doesn't have a temperature, is eating fine and sleeping fine. no snotty nose...what is wrong with him?
all suggestions gratefully received by very inexperienced mum! x

How old is he?

How old is he nicky?

sorry, he is 8 mths

has he been in contact with chicken pox? Mine were like that before the spots came out - not ill as such, but not themselves....

oh dear, it is going around so he could have.....

Could well be teeth (although no snot, dribble so hmmmmm) Could also be an ear infection, start of a cold or such - I would dose him up, wait a few days and see what happens - if he gets a temp or the symptoms last for more time than you're happy with, see the dr.x P.S. Having said that - I've had a cold for 8 days now with terrible sinus pain (which i had before the snot arrived) so he may just be in pain.

Agree that it could be chicken pox, there is a lot of that this year.

Could he be teething? My DS is 8 months old and he has more daytime naps when he is teething and of course is generally whingy.

thank you ladies might invest in some calamine to be on the safe side and will look out the calpol!

let us know if it is chickenpox, we've LOADS of advice on that one....

i shall, squonk!
