Should I get DS reviewed by GP

[Calluna]

I'd get him checked. Just to rule out illness as a cause. If you aren't keen on going to a dr, you could try a naturopath?

I'd take him too Dan. If it was just a day or two I'd not think twice about it but going on for a week or two its worth getting checked.

Could be that he's just going through a growth spurt or something and that's taking a physical toll on him. Are his tonsils playing up again maybe?

Sounds just like my DD who is the same age (I posted a couple of days ago about the same type of issues).

I was concerned something might have been wrong but she has perked up abit now but is still not eating very well, so I've put it down to a growth spurt her need to sleep and lack of energy at the moment. My concern that she may have had a UTI as she did have a bit of a fever the other day, but a dose of panadol brought that down and she hasn't had a fever or any other symptoms of illness.

If you are concerned I would get him checked out.

I'd take him to a GP, but I'm always over cautious. Tired and pale would probably be a trigger for me to get him checked out. It maybe nothing but peace of mind would help me. I always say 'no one regrets going to the doctor, but people sometimes regret not going'. Anyhow, that just my philosophy on getting medical opinions.

you know what I think. but I'll tell ya again anyway

I think you should book him in with the GP and ask for a full blood work up. The change in mood, appetite, and lethargy worries me. It could be something as simple as being a bit low in iron. Get a blood run and see what they say hon.

P.S. I don't think it has anything to do with H's arrival.

Thanks ladies! DH & I chatted and decided the good ole "better safe than sorry" and he has a dr appt tomorrow.
I just hope they listen to me, trust my mummy instinct and don't give me the you're over reacting mummy speech.
