My 16 month old has been very lethargic. We had gone to Texas for a funeral. We flew. When we landed home and got in the car my baby started throwing up. He threw up three time in the 15 minute drive home and then slept throughout the night. The next day we made sure he was well hydrated and fed him bland foods. He ate well and didn’t get sick.

Thursday he was felt warm and didn’t have much of an appetite but ate here and there. Friday he woke up with a fever. We gave him Tylenol and water and he slept most the day. He didn’t eat, refused everything food related, so we got pedilyte and kept him comfortable and hydrated. We also took him to the doctor who said we should keep doing what we’re doing. Saturday his fever went away but he still didn’t have an appetite. He ate a few crackers and drank water. Sunday, he slept. Like slept a lot. He was awake for a total of 4 hours non consecutively. When he was awake he ate until he was done.

I have been worrying about this poor babe all weekend and the excessive sleeping is worrying me now. I know he’s trying to rest and recover, but is 17 hours of straight sleep normal? My oldest never did this. From what I gather today he’s sleeping a lot again.
