eating more sleeping less

Rotavirus is really nasty. My kids have had it and it makes them so miserable. It’ll pass soon. I know how frustrating it is when things are going well, and then something like this wreaks havoc; the last thing you need. I always wish it could be me instead of my baby.

Is Jack a comfort eater? If so, he’ll probably slow down when he is feeling a little better. Also, he may be making up for lost calories and fluid when he was sick. He may still be miserable from the virus, even if he’s not vomiting, or having diarrhea anymore. The virus makes you feel really weak and lousy. (I had the great pleasure of experiencing this one with my oldest when she was a baby…boy, was it miserable!). My middle child had it as an infant, and she was miserable for well over a week.

I hope Jack is feeling better very soon. Hang in there!
