I know I should be able to tell this with mothers instinct, but I am tired & ill too :oops:
Emma has been very lazy today, her friend came to play and she just wanted to "lie on the sofa, I want my dummy and Dora Dora Dora the explorer on". I've taken her temp & it's 38.1, so a little high and asked her if she's poorly - she says she is. But I'm not sure if it's because she woke earlier than usual this morning, I had a distrubed nights sleep with Holly (well not really any sleep befoe 4.30) so not sure if that distrubed EMma too.
So, how do you tell , tired or ill?
also, she's only had 1 wee since 8am this morning, I am now giving her juice to make sure her fluid intake is ok. She's eaten wheatabix and cornflakes so I'm not massively worried, but I don't think all is well and I'm too tired.
Should I give her calpol?

If her temp is up give her a half dose, it sounds like she might be coming down with something. Even when he is ill D gives his cereal a go. Did she eat anything else today?

I'm not sure how you tell, but I do think her temp is on the high side indicationg she may be coming down with something,

I hope she isn't too ill that would be a nightmare for you right now,

Sending hugs and get well vibes for Emma. x

Well I gave her 5ml of calpol and she scoffed a load of macoroni cheese before being shipped off to Grandma's house. I stupidly forgot to send calpol, but did mention that she's been tired today. She's staying there tonight, so fingers crossed she'll be fine.
I was only saying the other day that she hasn't been ill for ages :doh: .
