Right Gracie has been ill for well this is the 2nd week and i have had no sleep in that time she is just screaming the house down constantly she has mumps and is obviously in pain but right now she is screaming so loud i can hear her through 2 doors now is she doing it a because over the last week and a half she has got used to being cuddled asleep and wanting it done all the time or just because she is poorly she is as white as a ghost no colour at all what do i do

give in and go up or do tough love and leave her to cry it out x

please help ladies i am seriously going slowly mad

If she is still ill I'd do what makes her feel better - probably cuddle her....when she is ovr it you will have to deal with it...but at least she is well and you will know she isnt crying cos she ill

i would comfort her too when she's poorly, hope she's on the mend soon x

been up settled her right down til she was asleep then led her back down came back down sat for 5 mins and she is off again i feel so so sorry for her and also so helpless that there is nothing i can do.

MMR jab wont fully protect them until they have 2nd dose so can still get the ilnesses but only in a minor form all i can say is if this is minor i dread to think what she would be like if she got it full whack x

Awww bless her, hope shes feeling better soon x

Aww suze hope gracie is feeling better soon poor little mite xx

Callums exactly the same when poorly manage to get him to sleep cuddling then 5mins after he gets put down he starts screaming again x
I would just leave her cuddling you poor gracie hope she feels better soon xx

Well she is asleep on the floor by her door so just covered her up and left her there dont want to risk moving her x

awww bless her =o( hope she feels better soon xx

Bless her and you.

I remember having mumps when I was 7 or 8 and it was so uncomfortable the memory is still vivid. I had a little hot water bottle that I put on the painful areas and that really helped. Maybe get her one of those toys that you can warm up in the microwave to help settle her.

Poor Gracie Mumps are horrible i'm in agony so i dont know how a little babe could cope, hope she's better soon x

Poor little lamb. How is she today? x x x

she seems to be jumping about a bit more but will then stop and scream its as if she forgets (thanks calpol) then suddenly its back to being in pain its horrible as i just cant do anything for her x

Awww hun, it must be so awful for her.

Did the doc say how long this stage of it will last?

My OH had it a few years ago before we met and he was off work for about 2 weeks and his face was all swollen x

Aww Poor Gracie, hope she feels better soon, and you!! xx
