My one year old has a stomach bug and has been puking multiple times a day. Being a parent is tough. Still wouldn’t change it for the world.

My, man...it doesn't get better as they age.

Now, with a 17 y/o daughter (no pics), sleep gets lost for other reasons.

Still an amazing adventure.

Hope the bug goes away soon!

Get that baby on a structured sleep schedule and stick to it like a Nazi with no exceptions outside of sickness or abnormal needs. It should get better.

But sick kids suck (for parents I mean), especially babies. It's tough not being able to do much for them and letting viruses run their course.

You'll be fine. I had to raise a 1 year old during Covid lockdowns. That shite was a nightmare.

6 years later, I have another 1 year old. She had the stomach bug last month and it was way easier.

Should have thought of that before busting in those guys a couple years ago.

been there bud. common illnesses get slightly easier to deal with around 3 or 4. at that point they can tell you exactly what’s wrong, where it hurts, and how they feel.

but as others have said, the sleep never returns

Might have a look at the recent food and ingredient list. Could be a natural reaction to an additive/ingredient.

It’s is those times (long ago for me) when I realized just how damned difficult life must be for single Moms / Parents.

Underscored the power of great marriage / families with neon lights for me.

Hang in there! Some of best parenting shows up in those circumstances.

Well done by you!

When I think back to when my kids were that young it feels like one big sleep deprived blur.

Old timers weren't kidding when they say it goes by fast. You'll forget those days and remember all the good stuff anyway.

Advice, sleep when they sleep

Take a gummy, put on a floor fan.

None of that will even bother you

I hope you are watching for wet diapers...if there arent any, he or she prob needs some IV hydration.

You quickly forget about those nights until some random dude on the internet reminds you of them

Have two under 2. Our oldest also has a stomach bug and we’re on day 2. Very worried about passing it onto momma and baby so I’ve been doing all or most of the work with our oldest. I concur it is draining lol.

Both my wife and baby have the flu. But honestly, reading your perspective is EXACTLY what I needed to read.

This bug ran through my house last week. My daughter got it sunday, my 1 year old son got it wednesday morning, I got it wednesday night, my wife got it Friday. It only lasted ~12 hours for each of us, except my son puked his guts up once and was fine after.
