So, I'm not sure whether to start worrying or not.

For almost three weeks now Tobias has seemed to be tired such a lot of the time.
He still plays lots and has periods of being very active, he goes to nursery and plays well there. However when we are at home, he tires very quickly. He goes down for his nap with hardly a fuss... Which is quite unusual.
He is eating like a trooper.. Not as much veg as I would like, but I think I am getting vitamins etc into him.
He has also grown half an inch in a month.

So is this just a growth spurt?
Is it some deficiency like iron?
Is it nothing to worry about?

Just dunno what to think!!!
 
Hmm, I don't THINK its anything to worry about but maybe keep an eye on it... He doesn't get out of breath easily?
I would def say a growth spurt, Kilian is just going through one now too! Seems all he does is sleep and eat, and he WILL NOT walk more than 10 feet before wanting the stroller :dohh:

If you are very worried though, maybe mention it over the phone to your paed and see what they think...

:hugs:
 
You could always ask for his bloods done, just to be on the safe side. But when Thomas was very anaemic his appetite was really terrible, apparently that is normal if they are anaemic as they literally don't have the energy to eat so they get very picky, so if he's eating well and active some of the time I'd say it's probably just a growth spurt.
 
I think it's normal hun. Omar goes through those phases. He's now lying down on the bed relaxing & I think he will fall asleep. He has very energetic days but other days he doesn't seem to have energy & he spends all day relaxing. yesterday he slept 13 hours at night but he took a long nap for over 2 hours. He's picky with food but he eats well if he's interested in what he's eating. For the past 2 days all what he's doing is eating & relaxing. When I checked his weight today he added 300 grms. He didn't add any weight for almost a year, & he looks taller. So I think he's going through a growth spurt. xx

Ope, doesn't get out of breath.... He's much fitter than me! Runs rings round me! He refuses his pushchair and will easily walk a mile! Maybe I am just wearing him out!

Thanks Polaris, that's interesting about thomas' eating with his anaemia. Tobes is gunning it down!!

I have measured Tobes and he has gown about half a inch this month, so I think it must be growing!
