It is bloody hard work. Do the absolute minimum. Use Tv if little one will watch it . Jar food / pouches for dc .

I normally use the pouches for his dinner and tea as he won't wait for food a physically couldn't get on the floor to play with him yesterday so Just had cartoons on all day a felt so bad for it though

You can only do as much as you can . A couple of days will not harm on balance.

Hope you feel very much better soon

It really is just all day TV, ready meals and easy food I'm afraid.
You will get through it but all you can do is ride it out Flowers.
