    you're a great mum. I've got my fingers crossed for you that the next dosages are easier!

    Its terrible when they will npt drink and will not take their meds - Bella was very sick once and would not take her meds and I had to get DH to hold her while I forced it into her! I dont know who was crying more! But they started to work fast and she would drink her bottles for the rest - I know where you are coming from!
    I hope they kick in soon and you all get a better night!

    I think every mum feels bad having to force medicine into their child but it is something that must be done. It is really hard to not hurt when they are screaming but deep down you know it is for their good. Hope the abs kick in soon and she will start feeling better and you all get a decent sleep tonight.

    Have you tried getting her to drink from a straw, when my girls were small this often worked when I needed to get fluids into them. Also try really weak cordial or juice to get her to drink, don't worry to much with food. If there is not improvement with in 48 hours take her back to the Drs.
