As a mother we have many jobs. One of them is comforting our children when they are sick. Cuddling them, or feeding them or even cleaning them up. My daughter started feeling bad Friday night and on Saturday she was throwing up and running fever. My hubby called me to say that she had developed a rash on her chest about mid day. I was not home because I've started a small business and was at the flea market.
So I was feeling terrible that my baby girl was at home with her daddy feeling ill and I was not home to care for her.
We have spent the week thus far reading books watching PBS Kids and snuggling on the couch and in my bed every chance we get! LOL
When she feels out of sorts she wants to snuggle and it is such a wonderful bonding moment. I don't understand those people who think that a child should be forced into "self soothing" They are babies! They need love and they need to be held! It just breaks my heart to know that people are so cold, that they won't comfort a child when they are upset.
