Could it be a stuffy nose - because my LO is the same with one. Goes back to sleep after decongesting as he can breathe easier. Does he have a fever? Have you given him calpol (it's ok from 2 m+)?

yeah maybe it could be his nose thats irritating him it is stuffy he cheeks were quiet red too and felt hot ive given him some calpol and he seems to of cooled down abit now and he seems a bit better xxx

Ok - red cheeks can also be teething - if it is, the calpol should sort that out too.

yes i think he has started teething too he allways wants to bite allways dribbling but also he hasnt had a poo since yesterday afternoon and thats strange for him maybe thats irritating him too

Yeah, but that can be quite normal with the poo. If he's brest fed you find they suddenly only start going every few days (just the system settling down and them using all of what they are getting).

Seth was like that with his virus. He was refusing food too and since he's been quite clingy. Im sure its nothing hun but if you're worried give your docs a call? Might put your mind at rest if he gets checked over.
