OP- I was thinking maybe try a play pen that you can move her too when she starts getting rough? I think I watched it on tv once and that way they removed the kids from the situation and they soon learnt hang on a sec if I do this I get removed. its just hard at this age cause I don't think they fully understand how much they can hurt someone. And gets tricky for you too dealing with newborn and toddler!

Meg- oh the poor thing, does she have like a gastro type bug? She keeping fluids down? Is the high temp causing the vomiting or the vomiting come first. Hope it all clears up soon, hard for us mummies too trying to get stuff done, I love my hip sling when they're like that.

Needles went ok, she got over crying pretty quick. We'll see in a weeks time how the reaction is.
My birthday today and DF is sick after dodgy chicken last night (lucky the rest of us ate proper home cooked meal!) so I've had to buy my own birthday card from the kids and bake my own cake. Ash is very cute her belief is you can't have a birthday without a party so I've had to decorate the lounge and play party games.
