    Well she slept with me and did okay - still coughing a lot this morning but nose still only clear. Will see how she goes today. She's just lying there so a nice quiet day seems to to be what the "doc" ordered. Thanks for your help!

    Spoke too soon - she kept on sleeping this moring till about 11.15 which is good. Had her up and she won't feed, had a very green nappy and was basicaly hysterical the whole time she was up. She seemed to get warmer and warmer as he got herself worked up - gave her some panadol and she fell asleep in my arms. Has gone back down to bed without feed - boobs are huge! Booked into docs for 2pm so will see. Does this sound common?

    Hi Jordie, has she been in contact with other kids? I've heard there's a cold virus going around that gives kids diarrhoea as well...
    These days when Natty has a cold and then the fever comes, I take her to the doctors. The last time she had tonsilitis, and the time before that it was an ear infection. It's worth asking just to be sure. Particularly if you are worried. And do whatever you feel is right with the sleeping - you'll cop no judgement around here
    I hope she's feeling much better soon.

    Snacks could be right there. That cold virus went around Melb recently and the runs came with it. We all had it over a period of several weeks, one by one coming down with it for a few days to a week.

    Well we went to docs - she has cold with congestion and middle ear infection. So we've got antibiotics for her. She's doing better now thogh after the nurofen which is a relief. We have to keep away from other bubs for next few days which is sooo hard - all my friends have kids!! I hate being isolated like that - oh well.

    Aw, sorry to hear that. Natty's ear infection was the pits. Hoping Mackenzie brightens very soon.
