Finger puppets telling a story always works wonders with our little one.
You can't beat cuddles when poorly! Although I may need a bigger lap soon with 2 babies and 2 dogs 😂
Singing always helps especially if it’s a soothing or favourite song. Do A Deer is always a good one. Singing releases endorphins so also cheers up the mummy or indeed daddy because our little ones who are sad make us sad to.
My two girls are really different.
Millie, 5, likes a duvet day on the couch in her favourite pjs with films on the tv and some naps. She isn’t very cuddly so she prefers to be left to it with plenty fluids and some nibbles.
my youngest, who is 1 today, loves cuddles and quiet time when she isn’t well. Stories and some peppa pig with mummy usually does the trick.
Stories, stories and more stories - about when they were born, adventures of Mum and Dad when they were children, when pets first arrived at their new homes. Always something personal that they could relate to rather than books or TV plus the novelty of a bed made up on the settee.
My 4 year old doesn't sit still even when sick..
We tend to watch movies, movies tgat have done magic in them like Mary poppins.. ice pop, lots of fluids and a cold cloth when the temp spikes:)
Stay in p. J's all day and eat ice cream
Pulling funny faces usually works
I’m a first Time mummy to a 5 week old aomim definitely still learning about what my little girl likes. Reading a story in a soothing voice and swaying the little lady whilst singing tends to do the trick!
some nurofen a big cuddle and plenty of games to take their mind off it . my son likes being chased and when u shout boo
I like to sing a song to mine when they are unwell xx
For some reason my-awful-singing always seems to ease my little one!
Cuddles, cuddles and more cuddles.
My little boys are very different in terms of what comforts them when they're poorly my oldest likes pyjama days where we lie on the sofa and watch films and eat junk food. My youngest just wants to be snuggled when he's feeling poorly he's teething atm and having a rough time with it and all he wants to do is be cuddled and sung to hes starting to recognise songs and gets excited during certain ones
Making funny faces usually works
Cuddles and snuggling under a blanket on the sofa, usually with a few soft toys as well!
Whenever my girls are poorly we have lots of cuddles and love a good nap. We also have a quiet day with stories, disney films and try to drink lots of water.
Make sure it is quiet and calm and then just comfort.
Lots of cuddles and all the treats we usually have to ration - ice cream , cakes and cookies to boost energy levels to fight those nasty bugs 🐛
Lots of soothing drinks and cuddles. Snuggling on the sofa with a pile of books helps too
