Hi everyone, my 19mo had a sickness bug last week (lasted about 5-6 days) started feeling properly better about 4-5 days ago. When ill he obviously slept a lot, barely ate/drank.
Since feeling better he has been eating quite a lot, drinking more and seems generally quite happy. His sleeping is back to normal.
However in the day I’ve noticed he’s still a bit…chilled. I can’t say tired as he doesn’t sleep more, but he rarely would stop moving up however now he’s quite happy to sit on the sofa and watch the tv for half an hour, today we took him to the park and he asked to go back in his pram after 15 minutes. He’s been to nursery this week and they didn’t mention anything different, my mum had him for a day and whist she mentioned he sat with her and watched tv for a bit she didn’t find it unusual. She says he’s learning how to rest and still getting over his sickness bug.
I’m irrationally worried he has type 1 diabetes as that all that shows when I Google, when I say he’s drinking more, he has just learned how to ask for drinks he wants so (milk/juice/water) so I don’t know if that why he’s drinking more, because he’s getting what he wants. He doesn’t finish all what I give him, he maybe drinks 3-4 cups of various drinks thought out the day. He seems happy enough in himself but I’m just worried as to why he’s not back to his usual self yet.
