My baby is sick.

With the virus I had, I guess. I was so careful to not give it to him. But I did give it to H and I don't think he was very careful.

He was awake from 12:30 to 3:30 this morning. He's had a fever. He threw up all over me and himself immediately after a dose of tylenol. He's been miserable and clingy all day. He's refused almost all food.

I hate seeing him feel so bad. I wish it had just hit me again instead of him.

Thanks, both of you.

How old is he? You can be shedding the virus for up to 10 days. I nearly cried when I heard that last week. I would just let him have pedialyte or pedialyte pops to keep him hydrated and not rush anything else on his system.

poor little guy.

I'm sorry Mine too, well, I guess she is not a baby anymore at 2. It started with diarrhea (but just like 1-2 a day) and today she got a fever.

Oh but the wonderful news is that now at 2, she can finally have the pill/meltaway tylenol. Anna convinced her it was like candy and very yummy, lol, and it worked. She had seriously always puked or spit up the tylenol for her entire life until this.

I'm sorry, I hope the virus is short lived.

He's 15 months. Thanks, I will try the pedialyte.

Thanks everyone. Papie, I hope your little one feels better soon. And the meltaway tylenol is definitely something for me to look forward to!

It's the worst when they have a fever and they cling like koala bears. Poor baby

Yep. I'm a total sucker for that pout, the outstretched arms, a little whimper as he walks towards me. If only snuggles took the fever away.
