Toddler not walking after having a UTI

My 2.5yo has had a UTI since Monday and started antibiotics yesterday. He didn’t eat anything Tuesday - Thursday but has eaten today. He seems very weak and has wanted to do nothing the past few days but he also hasn’t walked since Tuesday - he wants to be carried everywhere and when I try and get him to stand or walk he just cries and clings on! Has anyone else experienced this? I’m hoping it’s just because he is weak…

My little boy (almost 2) has been very similar this week. He hasn’t had a UTI but he’s got Tonsillitis and also currently on antibiotics. He’s barely eaten anything since Sunday and has gone back to only wanting bottles of milk. I think it might just be a comfort thing? Mine is a very velcro boy anyway but when he’s poorly he won’t walk anywhere and just wants me to carry him and hold him all the time. It will probably take 48 hours to notice a difference now you’ve started antibiotics so I’m sure it will ease off. Sorry I can’t be more help but hopefully reassuring to know it’s not just you

I think you should take him to get seen. Praying everything is okay

I’d either call 111 or take him to the walk-in centre if I was you, hope he recovers soon x

I also think recommend lots of fluids. Pedalyte or juice not just water

Which is more important to you?

My mom and my husband dont get along.. at all. It has been putting a strain on my marriage and I'm honestly so tired of trying to keep everyone happy. I really just want to focus on my baby and repairing my marriage. Especially since its been super stressful as first time parents to a 3 month old. I feel bad that I'm kinda giving up on my relationship with my mom but it has been like this for years and I cant keep doing it. These issues have also been contributing to my PPD.

MUMS WHO CO-SLEEP AND HAVE A SEX LIFE

do you even exist?! I haven't had sex with my hubby since baby was born (5 months ago...). my baby WON'T sleep in a crib more than 5 minutes, and we live with more people in the house, so our only option is the bedroom. We don't have much support, and only my mom has watched him for a couple of hours a few times, but she lives far from us. I don't know what to do anymore, we both definitely need it!! please share your tips or advice

Inexpensive full size mattress suggestions

So we are in the “I want to sleep with mommy” phase so I end up sleeping half the night in my daughters room so she doesn’t wake up daddy. It’s fine, but her mattress is sooooo uncomfortable it’s not even funny. I wake up and everything hurts (which might be why she won’t sleep through the night anymore). Do yall have any mattress suggestions?

PSA- stop posting pics of your dirty diapers 🤢

Mark as sensitive please

Does anyone else have a baby that’s an emotional manipulator?

Totally joking, they’re just babies obviously lol. But my daughter loves to play games with us and is very expressive with her faces. I just gave her a kiss on the forehead and she starts to pretend like she’s going to cry. Even though I know she’s messing around I apologize only for her to give me the biggest, most shit-eating smirk possible like some evil villain and when I call her out for it she starts laughing😭 baby girl, you’re only 11 weeks old… you can’t be slick like that yet lmao

baby only eat-wake-cry 24 hrs

my 3 week old baby only feed-wake up and cry. we cant do anything during the wake hours. she has been like this for the past 4daya
