Thanks I appreciate the replies, we have had a lot of issues with DD (15 months) lately, behavioural and sleep etc. We think it has been related to some food intollerance which we are trying to work out, but I am also trying to avoid an elimination diet. I was speaking to a health nurse about her behaviour and also she often gets a distinct smelling breath, not horrible but not nice either kind of sweet fruity smell. The nurse mentioned infant diabetes and said not to rule it out. I have done a little research on it but could not find a lot of info.
She does drink alot of water but I wouldnt say she urinates frequently. She will be very angry and grumpy slapping me and DH like she is in pain and if we give her something to eat she is all better instantly. Now I kow this is probably normal behaviour for a hungry toddler but she eats all the time so its not like she is starving or anything then we feed her if that makes sense. Its like she has low insulin level or something which makes her grumpy then she eats and she is normal again.
I am probably not making any sense and its probably not diabetes but I was thinking of getting a referral to a paed and thought it might be worth mentioning to them, I dont want to come across as someone who is looking for something wrong iykwim but I know something is not right and I am just trying to explore all avenues this being one of them
