Re: err sbs??

Is it possible she has an ear infection?  Or maybe a mild concussion?  Both of these have the symptoms you describe, and being 2, it is even possible she is getting her 2 year old molars, which can be very painful.

Having said that, if you suspect that something is seriously wrong, you need to get her checked out as quickly as possible.  I have had a quick look at some sites that are about Shaken Baby Syndrome, and I will put the link to the Google search page under your question as that seems to give a lot of interesting and infromative sites.  Too many for me to list individually.

well she has been sticking her finger in her ear alot bt she use to sleep with a finger in it lol as for concussion she has no bruises on her head nor has she fallen while around me lately so i woud rule it out. yes she could be getting her top molars as she has had her bottom ones since she was 17months old but shes not drooling or wanting her bottle which she dose when there coming through. im taking her to dr as soon as she comes home from nannas but that wont be for a while shes due back on the 27th. im watching her closley as is nanna.

Follow your gut instinct and talk to the doctor both. This could be one of several issues.

It  may just be down to a change in routine, I know that even now my nearly 4 year old daughter can be grumpy and not herself if her routine has gone out the window.

If she continues to show symptoms of being "unwell" then I would take her to the GP.
