things they never told you about motherhood... getting sick


Yesterday Little L got sick for the first time, I had only just been saying to people how amazing breastmilk must be to keep our little one from getting sick when we were.  Unfortunately the cold weather or the fact we went to a birthday party full of sick people must have gotten the better of us and the little one went down to a cold.  Sleepless night with the little boy all hunched over and alternating between sobs and screams was so awful.  Then seeing him wake up with a dripping nose into his mouth we gave him his first panadol.  All he has had so far is breast milk so we were hestitant to give him anything else.  You want to just love and cuddle them well.  A visit to the doctor confirmed he had a tummy bug and cold, sent us home with instructions to keep an eye on him and keep his fever down.  Now our little man has had a little sleep - his nose is still running and his eyes are still puffy but he is still smiling at us, which makes your heart melt even more.   Get well my little L, I love you x
