Not well

The last few days have not been fun as poor little Chloe has been struck down with her first tummy bug. This has meant a lot of clinginess, whinging (completely understandable) and alot of bad sleeping habits forming. Over the last four days she has had most of her day sleeps and parts of her night sleeps in our bed and I know I am most likely going to pay for it later but it is what she needs (and it is what I need to stay sane). I have done what most parents do when their child gets sick (and often the most damaging) and scoured the internet for what to do. Everything that I have looked at says different things (and I have only being looking at medically reputable sites) in relation to how long it will last and what to do. Oh well the joys of motherhood, hopefully she will be well and back to her old self soon and until then at least we are getting the chance to collect lots of Wiggily dollars off the nappies :)

Poor Chloe. Hope she feels better soon. I think Noah has had something similar. We just try to keep his fluids up and give him gastrolyte if he is really not keeping much in (at either end). You can buy 'icy poles' at the chemist that rehydrate kids - they are better than just regular fluids as they have all the electrolytes etc. they need and kids think they are having something yummy. Hopefully once she is feeling better she will be happy back in her own bed too.

It is sad to see my littlest princess not well. However there is light at the end of the tunnel, just think of all the catching up she will have to do when she recovers. All the chasing mum will have. Hope she is better soon Love always Dad.
