Just posting for a bit of solidarity and to extend mine to others. I have an 19 month old toddler who has had a temperature of between 38 and 39 the last few days, He is shaking and shivering and also crying unconsolably until the paracetamol kicks in which gives us both a few hours relief until the whole cycle starts again. It is so hard to see him like this poor thing but also I find it so stressful I feel like as his Mamma my body is programmed to feel stressed and want to help him when he cries which is a LOT atm so my heart is racing. I'm able to appear calm for him as he needs me to be but yeah...anyone else going through this. If you fancy a moan about how shite it is seeing them ill and also trying to juggle everything. i'll listen :) x

How's your little one now? Turned out my son had a UTI so we now have a course of antibiotics.

Thank you! He is much better now he had a virus that made it hard to use his dummy and breathe so he was so uncomfortable but sleeping better now and I didn't have to work today so much less stress! Didn't help that his father didn't show up and take him out like he was meant to as he thinks baby is too ill to leave me (translation too ill to have fun playing when me or go to fun stuff with me)

Your poor little one I hope the meds work soon!!
