Sick Toddler?

Is your toddler running a high fever?

Does he have a history of copious vomiting in these situations?

Here’s a comprehensive list of what foodstuffs not to feed him:

  1. Cherry jelly

I’m sure there are others, but at the mention of that first one, my brain has gone into an immediate and complete automatic shutdown in the interests of preserving what remains of my sanity.

I think I need to go and lie down in a darkened room.
(That way, I won’t be able to see the stains on the carpet.)

    I was wondering where you were.

    What is it with everyone today – they are going out of their way to convince me that babies are a good idea….

    Hope he gets better soon.

    Babies ARE a good idea. It is the Cherry jelly which are not!

    Babies may be a good *idea* – 6000 had the crazy notion to put that idea into practice. Twice.

    Cherry jelly?!? I had no idea they even make that flavour! Perhaps I need to visit my local SA shop to see what range of Moirs they have there!

    Hope you and the sick ‘un feel better soon! :)

    So,
    Babies = yes.
    Sick Babies + Cherry Jelly = No?

    At least I know where to come for parenting tips.
