Poor Mia

So this last week has been pretty hard. Mia has had bad diarrhoea and vomiting which lasted for 6 days. She couldn't keep any milk down at all and at one point she couldn't keep water down either. Very much brought back memories of early morning sickness where I couldn't keep water down and had to be prescribed anti sickness tablets. 

Having a sick baby is horrible. Not only are you mopping up sick and diarrheoa but you feel so helpless. Your baby is unable to communicate verbally with you to tell you what's wrong. This was the worst part for me. We weren't 100% sure what was wrong with Mia and why it was going on for so long and she was unable to tell us so we just felt useless. She was so lethargic for a fair few days as well which was awful, so unlike her and at times we did become quite worried. 

I think she picked it up from one of those baby cafes, you know the ones I have raved about before......hmmm I must admit I'm feeling rather reluctant to visit one again now! But your baby will pick up bugs being around other children, there is no avoiding it really. I mean obviously don't let your baby put the toys in their mouth if you can help it in these cafes as you don't know who's had it in their mouth before or when it was last cleaned. 

Luckily she seems much better now. She is keeping her milk down and solids! Just to get her weight back up now!
