What do you do when your toddler is ill?

[milkyman]

My 2 yr old has been sick for 5 days now and all we've done is watch cbeebies... Hoping this won't continue when he's better...

He's also refused to have his teeth brushed at all...

CBeebies, iPad, read books and sleep. It sucks.

Took my poorly 1 year old for a wall this morning as the 3 year old was going demented having to stay in the house but he was howling by the time we got home.

Is he eating? Mine is but only Pom Bears and toast. Too exhausted to argue with him.

When they are droopy and poorly then snuggling up together and waiting it out (with calpol and/or GP recommended treatment as appropriate) is all you can do. Hopefully yours will get their bounce back soon and want to be up and about again. Good luck wedging a toothbrush in there soon - or just your finger with some toothpaste will be better than nothing! to keep you going!

He's got gastroenteritis - toast and biscuits...

poor little chap (and you!). DD was quite poorly for over a week before xmas. We watched Peppa pig, read books and I put her to bed at regular intervals for a rest or sleep. Not much more you can do. Hope he's better soon
