Looking at buying a trike or a push-along car for my one year old (Little Tikes Car). Anybody have any advice on which? They are quite expensive and I've already bought a water table so want to just choose one!
Now on day 5 of fever between 38-39.3. Seen by GP yesterday and no sign of infection. Acting ok when dosed up on Calpol or Nurofen which brings fever down to high 37s / low 38. Eating and drinking fine but not as much as normal (particularly eating).
He had a fever two weeks ago and minor cough with the fever resolving after 3 days which we think may have been a separate virus. He then went into his first full day of nursery and two days later, this all started. Very congested and I've caught whatever this is - something between a bad cold and the flu although I've just felt feverish with congestion Vs a fever.
Feeling down in the dumps as obviously very concerned despite GP saying he needs to ride it out?
My son has just started nursery and has come down with a nasty bug which I'm presuming is flu (no sign of infection from GP visit), but we are on day 5 of fever and I'm likely going to have two full days off this week (I work part-time).
I have been at the company 5 years and I am a valued team member. I've even worked outside of typical work hours to make up a half day of work during this illness.
However, how does the law work with firing employees for this reason? We have no family to help and our nursery has a rule with no child with a fever over 38 being allowed in.
I do think my son runs a fever quite easily, but this is definitely a nasty virus as the whole house has come down badly with it.
My one year old is about to have his vaccine which now includes the chicken pox one. However, as an almost 30 year old, I've never actually had chicken pox myself. I would get myself vaccinated, but I'm still breastfeeding and apparently that means it's a no-go.
Has anyone had a rash appear after the vaccines which could mean I then come down with it myself?
Tomorrow is the day I've been dreading: my one year old's settling in session before starting nursery 3 days a week in a few weeks (he also has a few half days planned before then). I'm a wreck.
I go back to work part-time and, whilst most of our days are exhausting, I feel distraught that all of our time together has come to an end. That is what I'm struggling to come to terms with most, especially as he's just recently turned one. I did not have an easy beginning to postpartum as I was unwell after a difficult birth where errors were made so it's all just hitting me. He's also very attached to me and seeks me out for comfort Vs his father etc.
I also have a fear of vomiting so thinking about stomach bugs from the nursery isn't helping the situation at all.
Any words of advice, please? I'm sure I'm not the only one who has felt this way.
