POORLY!!!!!! ANY ADVICE
hi well what can i say my 17 month old son is ill hes ran a temp today of 39.9!!!! i took him to the badger clinic they gave me antibotcs and iburfen, hes not really a boy who sits and cuddles you but tonight he sat on my lap(to my delight) and hugged me he didnt cry he just sat looked at me with his weepy eyes as they streamed i cried lots if i could have taken all that ill feeling a hundred times over i would have!!!!
tomorrow i will be at home with him on my own and i want to amue him but dont know how i can do this plz plz any ideas it may just perk him up a bit??
i throught that he may like to go out in his buggy for a walk?? i could talk to him as i have a rear facing buggy??

Take your cues from him hun. A walk will b good as fresh air will help plus it's always nice just to get out, even for half hr, when u feel a bit poop. Be aware he may want to sleep more which won't b a bad thing as sleep is the body's way of recharging and healing. My youngest had a diorrehea bug last week and he slept quite a bit, nibbles little bits but wasn't too interested in food......oh, make sure he drinks plenty too.....ours loves cars so we played with them or let him do some scribbling on a pad but found he would get fed up quickly or tired.
Hope the antibotics kick in quick and he perks up in a cpl days xx
thought id send you a reply because i had exactly the same scenario 2 weeks ago! my 18 month old was really poorly high temp and didnt want to do anything but sit on my lap the whole time! I kept it really simple for him and let him watch some kids tv and also he loves his books so he still liked looking at them.
Sorry know im not much help but if he is anything like how Freddie was he probably wont be interested in doing much more!
sounds to me like youre doing all you can and im sure hes loving all his mummy hugs! hope your little man gets better soon its so heartbreaking to see them unwell
