Hi ladies,
After some advice please.
My son is nearly three and is tired all the time. He sleeps a good 11.5-12 hours at night and at home has a 2 hour nap every day too. He goes straight to sleep for his nap but at bedtime he lies there for a while before sleeping so maybe it's 11.5 hours rather than 12.
But in the day he is tired. Sometimes he lies with his head on the sofa and just stares off into space. Sometimes he says he is tired. I pointed it out to nursery and they see it too - they say the other day he sat down on a tire whilst the other kids were running about.
He has also started doing this sucking action when he gets tired - ike he is sucking his thumb but doesn't have his thumb in his mouth. He also rubs my hair or his eyebrows, like he likes the softness maybe!
He was unwell with a virus (the dr's didn't know what it was and said virus) in March and never really recovered. He hasn't been himself since which makes me really sad
Is this normal? Perhaps it is and maybe he is having a very long growth spurt? x
