Yesterday morning Edward was fine. When he woke from his nap however he was grouchy and he got worse all day to the point I got nothing done because I was either cuddling him or trying to play with him to take his mind off whatever it was. DP didnt get home til 9 so I was with him all day on my own so I was knackered last night! I gave him medised and he slept through. He woke at 8.30 this morn so I gave him his bottle and jumped in the shower and he's asleep again.

I dont know whats wrong with him though. It could be teeth, it could be MMR, I dont know and thats what makes it worse because I'm not sure what I should be giving him. He didnt have a temp yesterday but did seem very hot. He was also very clumsy and kept falling over.

I'm not used to Edward being ill. Hes normally so happy and never complains. Dad was shocked yesterday when he popped over because he's never really seen or heard Ed play up before.

Fingers crossed he'll feel better when he wakes up.

Awww poor lad. It probably is his mmr and teeth just knocked him off the place.

Get better soon Ed, xx.

Ella has started to have a reaction to her mmr in the last few days, and is teething so its fun for all the family here at the moment! From what you are saying about Ed, thats what Ella has been like - except without the sleeping through bit as she's been very distressed at night time and has been running a temp.

She's just gone to sleep now, which is unlike her for a morning. I'd guess that it was an mmr reaction, and lets hope that they get through it soon!

Aww i hope he feels better soon.  Last week ellen was really poorly she had a combination of a reaction to the mmr and a viral throat infection.  She was on calpol every 6 hours and inbtween that she was baby ibrofen which really helped. 

Its hoorible when they are ill and i know wat u mean about being shattered i was.  Its hard work cos u dont know wat to do for the best xxx
