How do you cope when you’re unwell

What do people do when they’re sick and on their own with LO ? I’ve got d&v and my partner works 6am-6pm. She’s watched a lot of TV today because I’m too ill to entertain her !

honestly i do what i can, and if that’s sitting infront of the tv for a day then so be it! as long and she’s fed, watered and nappies changed, a day or two of chilling out is absolutely fine x

It's the worst I had no-one so I walked around with a bucket ready to put LO in highchair if I needed the loo. Sometimes I had to take her with me and put her in the jumperoo. It wasn't easy cause she also had D&V.

I've been there, it's horrendous! BBC nursery rhymes and singing hands on YouTube. Hope you are feeling better soon! X

I use TV, if I can I take him for a walk but I mainly make sure he is fed, has water and is changed

I've got a virus I caught off my son, have been in bed since Monday. I'm lucky because grandparents and husband have been looking after him but feel bad that I can't x

I’ve just had surgery (not major but still exhausting!) and my partner took day of surgery and day after off which was really helpful but he went back to work and I fortunately had my mum to come take the kids for a couple of hours. Home alone yesterday and today with them and it’s been tough! Lots of screen time and colouring which always keeps them entertained!
