My paed is Dr Scott Burgess, the Director of Paediatrics at Redlands Hospital.

I just let him cry for about 5 minutes whilst under his playgym - and he is falling asleep.

Is sleepiness a sign of something more sinister?

I've tried water and he won't take it either, I tried feeding him with a syringe for fear the thickened formula wasn't making it through the teat, and he just screamed louder.

I just want to know how he is getting sick or where he's getting it. We rarely go anywhere, I'm very vigilant with sterlising, and I try and keep mine and anyone who touches him hands clean.
