Alfie isnt very well atm. For the past 2 days hes done nothing but cry and sleep. I think hes teething as i can see his teeth coming through his gums. Ive gave him Nurofen but hes still twisty bless him.

Anyway the question is really shud i let hi sleep when he wants to? I put him down at 7.15 last night - he slept all the way through till 8.15 this morning wen he woke for his dummy - so i brought him into my bed and he passed out again. Next thing i knew it was 9.30 and I thought i gotta wake him for his bottle and brekkie. Big mistake I think? hes cried again for most of the day - yet really fighting sleep to the point where he is making himself sick off crying.

Do u think i shud just let him sleep on a morning or wake him up?

i think if he is feeling unwell you should let him sleep. I was worried about Rowan on saturday as he was only awake just under 4 hours during the whole day.

I'm sure he'll be feeling better soon

Thanks hun. I think ill just leave him in the morning and let him get up. Hes been off his milk the past few days anyay - he only drank 4oz of his last bottle - he usually takes 8oz. But i would say he has had about 25oz today and 3 meals so he shudnt be too hungry.

As u know when ur not very well all u want 2 do is sleep id let him sleep he will let u know when he needs something else hun Both mine are not very well atm and are sleeping loads Hope he gets better soon hun XX

yea let him sleep. as long as he is getting his bottles n food he should be okay i remmeber ages ago when paige slept throu out most of the day.. i was a bit worried.. but i just made sure i stuffed her with food when she woke up lol x

you'll find as he gets older or even from now when they feel ill they wont eat or drink as much. Rowan has lost some weight because of having diarrhoea for a week now and vomiting and not eating properly for the last week. thankfully he's started eating normally today after eating a bit yesterday.

But its normal for them not eat/drink as much, same us really if we feel sick we dont tend to eat

Yeah i would leave him to sleep aswell jus keep an eye on him temp and things like that x

Hes been sick twice today and has diaorreah so i guess your right. He has a spotty little cheeks - on face and bum bless him awful teeth. i wish theyd hurry up and come through :-(

If his nappies remain bad for 4 days or more pop him to the doctors, i dont usually for rowan but he's not getting over this as fast as he normally would and had to send in a stool sample to be tested.

just waiting on the results now

ok cheers for the advice
