My OHtravels extensively for work, think months at a time. Yesterday I came down with food poisoning and am currently feeling like I’m going to die.

Dd also has a sniffly nose so is needier than usual. No one to help, I don’t even have the energy to shower. She’s ebf but have barely eaten or kept anything down even so worried about milk supply. She refuses a bottle too.

Please help me. How can I make this as easy as possible? Currently singing her favourite song whilst on the loo as she cries otherwise...😳

What fresh hell is this.

So sorry you're suffering. It is truly horrific when you are ill with no support and a small baby.

Do you have any family or friends who could come round? I presume you've already thought of this, but just in case...

Your body should prioritise your milk supply so try not to worry about that.

Is she distracted by the TV at all? Can you set her up in front of it whilst you are on the sofa?

Oh that sounds awful, I remember having it when my dd was about 6 weeks old. I was even tempted to call my ex it was that bad but luckily baby was ok. Just ride it out is the only thing I could do with no help either, its horrible when there is no one to help. Hope your better soon Flowers
