How To: Change a sick Toddlers bed


  1. Have a Toddler with a head cold (poor little guy)
  2. Put him to bed - give them Pamol, vicks and Kiwi Herb Destuff
  3. Toddler wakes up five hours later
  4. Check on Toddler
  5. Toddler has been a little sick and is upset (understandably) 
  6. Pick Toddler up and give Mummy Cuddles
  7. Change pillow slip - Pillow fine, just a little spillage
  8. Try to put Toddler down
  9. Toddler wants a bottle
  10. Try to give Toddler warmed water 
  11. Toddler is not having a bar of it
  12. Try to convince Toddler to have the warmed water as if he has milk, he might be sick again
  13. Toddler wants milk
  14. Sit down and give Toddler more cuddles and try to get them to have the warmed water
  15. "NOOOOOO! Milk"
  16. Toddler gets a bottle of extra warmed milk (hope that it won't bother him too much)
  17. Give Toddler more medicine (as directed on bottle - he's due a dose)
  18. Put Toddler back to bed
  19. Sing "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly"
  20. Go back to lounge
  21. Toddler wakes up half hour later
  22. Toddler has been sick
  23. Pick Toddler up and give cuddle until they are much calmer
  24. Strip sick coated PJ's off 
  25. Clean Toddlers face and neck with warm cloth
  26. Pull out warm blanket and wrap Toddler in it
  27. Toddler looks at the blanket "What??? Where??!" is said in wonder (Take it that he likes this particular blanket and is wondering where it has come from)
  28. Ask Toddler to sit next to "Big Ben" (a giant white teddy bear that used to be Mummy's) 
  29. Toddler sits next to bear "Hi Ben - Sick" (points to self) "Yuck" (points to bed)
  30. Agree with Toddler and tell Toddler to stay with Ben while you sort the bed out
  31. Check bed - only pillow's and bottom sheet have sick on them
  32. Strip pillow slips and bottom sheet off - put in laundry
  33. Underlay dry - opt to use top sheet on bottom and just blankets on top until the morning
  34. Make bed

  36. Toddler excited that he has a pillow like Mummy's
