8 month old only awake for 1.5 hours today

My 8 month old has been sleeping all day today. She has woken up for 3 blocks of half an hour.

She is drinking milk fine. she is very clingy with me and just wants to be in me.

she is making noises like a mild groan when awake.

should I be worried? My gut is saying she is ill. What would a gp do?

Phone 111

Alwaysoneoddsock · 19/09/2023 19:56

I would go to A&E.

NuffSaidSam · 19/09/2023 19:56

I'd be concerned and ring 111. That doesn't sound right at all.

Is she eating? Does she have a temperature? Rash?

Get medical advice. Proper medical advice.

SorryWorry · 19/09/2023 19:58

She needs to see a doctor.

DementedPanda · 19/09/2023 19:58

Not normal, seek medical advice.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 19/09/2023 19:58

Jesus. I'd probably go straight to A&E rather than wait for 111.

Alwaysoneoddsock · 19/09/2023 20:00

Can you get to A&E OP? I’m worried 111 will take too long.

OneNameTwoNameThreeName · 19/09/2023 20:02

Take her to A&E.

Babyccino11 · 19/09/2023 20:40

Go straight to a&e

Rainraingoawaycomebackanotherday · 19/09/2023 20:41

I agree, A and E.

Spendysis · 19/09/2023 20:42

A & e

Quartz2208 · 19/09/2023 20:46

A&E definitely illnesses can present differently in babies

YukoandHiro · 19/09/2023 20:50

I'd go to a&e

carly2803 · 19/09/2023 21:10

Update: I phoned the GP yesterday for advice. They asked me to come in.

they did lots of checks and checked for meningitis and scarlet fever, checked ears and throat and chest.

he said she had no signs of anything like that so he thinks it is a viral infection. He said to continue with calpol and if she is no better in a couple of days then phone him back or 111.

she did seem slightly better yesterday. Hopefully she is even better today or I will take her back.

im glad I went to the gp though as I didn’t even think of scarlet fever or meningitis and it’s better to be sure.

Well done for getting medical attention. I hope baby makes a quick recovery.

Glad she got seen and checked over. Hope she is soon back to her normal self.
