Being sick times 2!!

There is nothing worse than having a baby that is sick and all you can do is try to comfort them with with breast feeding (BF) or cuddles. My little one (LO) has a rough few weeks. She started at Kita (day care) and just 2 weeks in got a stomach bug. I was really lucky to still be BF as that’s all she wanted. For days she just lied in my arms and slept or layed awake. Being a first time mom, I did of course take her to the doctor a few times as kept being worried she wasn’t getting better. She slowly started to get better and at the same time I started to get sick. ugh!! Now your LO being sick is one thing but as a mom if you are sick and can’t take care of your baby as you would that’s really hard. Luckily, the hubby was around and could help because I am basically in bed with the flu.

Important tips when sick. No matter how awful you feel try to stay hydrated, especially if BF. Rest and rest, even if not sleeping just resting will help your body recover quickly. It will pass and be careful of cold medicines you want to take if BF, makes sure to always check with your doctor if ok.
