Yesterday, our son slept more than he has ever slept before in his life. From 12.30pm through till 4.30pm he was asleep. He woke up for a feed but hardly took any milk. He only had a slightly wet nappy. He got really hot at about 5pm so we stripped him down and gave him a dose of Calpol.
By 5.30pm he was asleep again. We assumed that he would wake up again in a few hours for a proper feed and that we would not get much sleep at all. By 11pm he was still fast asleep and I couldn't get him to wake up. We forced him to swallow some water using a syringe and called the 24hr NHS line. A nurse told us he was probably okay and what we needed to look out for.
She got the local out of hours doctors to come round. He arrived at about 1.30am, by which time the cheeky little monkey had woken up, had two proper wet nappies and drunk a HUGE amount of milk!
We were so relieved. The doctor gave him the all clear after checking him out. So grateful to those doctors!
He's been great today and is now playing on his activity mat. He's so happy now. Lovely.
But his mum and I are now exhausted. Thank the gods that he's okay.
