It is really hard when your child got sick. They cannot tell you which part of their body is in pain. Last Wednesday, my son started having fever. He doesn't like to eat. He doesn't even like to be breastfed. He just keeps on crying. He doesn't want to be put down on the bed so I have to carry him while he sleeps. We went to the doctor yesterday. The doctor said he has swollen tonsils and their are white spots around his tonsils. This has caused his fever.
I can't stand watching him cry. If I could just take away the pain. I hope this will be over soon.

I think this is harder on newer parents or first time parents when you're just getting use to being a parent. You are so nervous with your first child, learning the ropes and going through everything for the first time. You don't like to see your baby cry when they get their immunizations, you worry about them when they have fevers, you get scared when they fall, but you learn that they are survivors and when the second and third babies come along you are more relaxed and can enjoy them more.

Me too....I freak out a lot when something goes wrong....But my father is even worse....he tends to over react....he always comes home from work everytime his grandchild got sick.

I understand your situation. And I know how it felt. I am a mother of four and I experienced what you are in now... It is really hard to understand baby's cry when they are sick. It will make you feel crying too. Glad you know the reason why your son is in fever... Just follow the medication and everything will get fine... Hope your son will get well soon... I can't advice you to stop worrying for worrying for our child will always be part of us as a mother...

I think that this has been one of the hardest things that I've had to go through as a mother. Now my children are older and they are able to tell me where they are hurting when they are not well. However, when they were younger this was something that I had to deal with and I would get so upset at the fact that I couldn't magically cure those things that were ailing my children.
Luckily, this was something that I didn't have to deal with on a regular basis when they were small.

All mothers feel exactly the same way as you do. I would even cry sometimes when i know that my son is in terrible pain. Well, we can let the pain be transferred onto our body so all we can do is pray that they soon feel better.

I felt you, although I don't have a child of myself yet. I had saw my friend carry his daughter, and he has to take care of her like a good mother. Sometimes, he has to guess what she wants, and why she cries so loud. As friend, I tried to help him out too, whenever we hang out. It is a tough job to be a parent, and that is why they are the best person in the world.

So sorry your little one is sick. Its a terrible feeling not knowing how to help them when they are so little that they can't talk to you. Glad that you got in to see the dr. Hopefully he will be feeling better real soon.

I know how you feel. My four and 1/2 month old did that a while back. She was super hot all over, crying constantly, didn't eat, and didn't want to sleep either. It started at night and I was super worried. I figured I'd take her to the doctor in the morning, so she could sleep a little (I was afraid she'd have to go to the hospital and would have trouble sleeping in a new place). However, she slept it off. I was so glad. When she was crying, I just didn't know what to do or even what was wrong. It was the worst feeling ever.
