Sickness bugs 🤢

Claire wasn’t a really sicky child (Becks was!) but she has a phobia of sick so this was a great topic for her!!

We talked about:

  1. Sickness bugs (aren’t they a gift..!) and some tips to help.
  2. Getting sick off a carpet – use shaving foam!
  3. Sick phobias and parenting – it's a real thing.
  4. Dehydration – the signs to look for.
  5. How children should be 48 hours clear before going back to nursery or school and why (and no swimming for 2 weeks). They will probably tell nursery anyway!!
  6. Foods to help with recuperation.
  7. Triggers for sickness and how they can continue (think of that drink that made you sick 😉)
  8. How sickness bugs creep up on you with no warning – you just have to go with it (but make sure you are ready with a sick bowl, kitchen roll and marigolds!)!

Always remember to seek medical advice (GP, Pharmacist or 111) if you are worried.
