Beata - sorry to hear Cam has been whingey - not so good. Not sure about other fruit but we were told to avoid the banana as it does make them constipated.
Well, for those who haven't seen my posts on FB - we have had a HELL of a week. We had friends round for morning tea on Sunday and then friends round for dinner on Sunday evening. After evening guests left, I got a call from morning guests to say their son (21 months) had a fever and to watch out for Fraser. Jump to Monday - Fraser extremely unsettled but no fever. Through the night, I was up to him 9 times that I remember counting. On Tues, the lady whose turn it was to host Mother's Group cancelled, so I offered for the mums and bubs to come to ours. Fraser was okay but by mid-afternoon was a bit unsettled again and had a temperature. Text friend with unwell son and she said doctors had said it was just a virus. Had a relatively good night, only up once. When I got Fraser up on Wed morning, he had a rash all over his head and he had a high fever. Wouldn't sleep through the day, so called the doctor at lunchtime and got a 4.30 appt. By the time we got to docs, temp was sky high and rash getting worse. Doc checked him over and couldn't find anything, but said that if his crying continued, to take him straight to the children's hospital so they could thoroughly check him over. Crying got worse so took him in and low and behold, they checked his mouth and it was full of ulcers. By this time, the rash was all over his body. They told us it was Hand, Foot and Mouth disease and there wasn't much we could do but let it take it's course. They did give us some local anesthetic in a tub to try and rub in Fraser's mouth to try and numb it enough so he will feed.
Have had a hell of a few days - he's just constantly crying with pain (no wonder - it looks agony) and not sleeping more than 20 mins through the day and no more than 45 mins at night. It's such a shame.....my poor baby!
Anyway, hope everyone else is well and hope that no-one is going through what we are! xx
