Mommy taking care of a sick baby/toddler alone all day
The sweetest Little
Your eyes fluttered open again to some strays of sunlight falling though your window and into your face.
It was much later now,actually it was already the next morning again,9am to be exact.
Hannah had taken the day off of work to stay home with you and take care of you today whilst Liana had already left for work by now,not that you knew that at the moment though.
You were in a bit of an older headspace than yesterday right now,probably between 1-2 years old and blinked a few times in slight confusion as you tried to remember what had happened yesterday and took in your surroundings.
Your room was filled with sunlight but it wasn't painfully bright,you were lying on your back in your crib,a pacifier lying next to your head and you didn't have a blanket for some reason that you didn't quite understand,you were still too little to understand that your blanket had been taken away because you'd been in a too little headspace to be able to be trusted to sleep under a blanket safely yesterday.
Still kind of tired you sat up as you rubbed the sleep out of your eyes but froze in your tracks and immediately looked down at the lower half of your body because something felt different.
Once you looked down at yourself you saw that you were wearing a diaper,you'd never worn a diaper before,only pull ups so far and pulled a face upon realizing that it was full.
The house was quiet and some birds were chirping outside of your window,almost making the moment seem surreal,you were still quite sick though,with a headache,a stomach ache,a runny nose and you were quite hungry,so you pushed yourself up on your knees,frowning upon feeling the diaper hanging down in between your legs heavily and yelled out for your caregivers.
"MOMMY! MAMA!",you yelled and repeated yourself impatiently a few times when no one was there within the first two seconds,only quietening down once Hannah rushed into the nursery.
"Hey baby good morning,are you a little bit older than yesterday huh?",the blonde cooed as she walked over to you and gave you a smile before lifting you out of your cribs and into her arms.
"Oh my,you sure soaked that one huh",she then mumbled as she checked your diaper and brought you over to the changing table,if you'd been able to call out for her and Liana than you must be at least a year old,maybe even two,the blonde figured as she gently lowered you down onto the changing table.
"Mama?",you asked and shot a glance over to the door,wondering where Liana was.
"Mama is at work right now but Mommy's gonna stay at home with you today,we'll have the entire day to ourselves,doesn't that sound fun?",Hannah explained as she took the dirty diaper off of you and started to wipe you clean before applying more cream to you so that your rash could heal.
You just silently nodded in response but frowned once you saw her putting you into a new diaper instead of a pull up.
"No Mommy",you whined and tried to wriggle away from her but the blonde just gently grabbed onto your stomach and held you in place,securing the diaper on you before speaking up again.
"It's just because you're sick baby,you might not make it to the potty in time or get even more little again like yesterday and we don't want Mommy to have to clean up any accidents now do we?",she softly said,earning a small nod from you,relieved to see that you were apparently still in a young enough headspace to not fight her on this.
"Alright",the blonde then mumbled as she picked you back up and walked over to your closet with you to pick out an outfit for you to wear today.
She'd ultimately decided on just a plain white romper that snapped up in the crotch area which would make changes a lot easier and a light pink cardigan with some matching light pink socks.
Once you were all dressed Hannah took you into her and Liana's bathroom,washed her hands and brushed your hair and teeth for you,you just silently complied because you were still kind of tired even though you'd already slept so much and let her pick you back up into her arms once she was done with that.
"Estella,do you feel well enough to go out for a walk with Mommy after breakfast or are you still too sick,I think some fresh air would be good for you?",Hannah then asked,softly stroking your warm cheek as she was talking.
You just shrugged in response and snuggled your face into her shoulder,not really caring,all that you wanted to do was sleep again.
"Aww I know that you're tired cause you're sick honey,I'm sorry you feel so icky,let's see if some breakfast and some fresh air afterwards will help huh",the blonde then cooed and started making her way downstairs with you.
Breakfast today was just some yoghurt with mashed up blueberries and raspberries mixed into it because Hannah knew that you'd probably not eat much due to you being sick.
She'd also mixed some cough medicine into it because she knew how tricky it could be to get a toddler to take medicine and figured that a possible tantrum could easily be avoided that way.
Because you were feeling so tired and sick you weren't in the mood for food even though you were hungry,your stomach and head were still hurting a lot and you were feeling a bit dizzy.
"Here you go",Hannah mumbled as she set down the plastic bowl of yogurt and fruits as well as a sippy cup that was filled with water infront of you.
When you refused to eat or drink anything she tried her best to convince you for a few minutes but because she was getting nowhere she then pulled a chair closer to you,sat down on it and took matters into her own hands.
"Come on baby,can you just do ten little spoonfuls for Mommy,just ten and then you're done?",she negotiated and held up the spoon to your lips,surprised but also relieved when you just sighed in defeat and opened your mouth,allowing her to feed you.
"There we go,good job that's one",Hannah praised before loading up the spoon again.
This was how it continued,Hannah was counting for you and making sure to praise you after each mouthful and to be honest eating wasn't as bad as you'd thought it would be right now,the yoghurt was actually tasting really nice.
2..5..7..9,the bites continued until you were at your last spoonful.
"....aaaand ten,good job baby,wasn't that yummy?",Hannah proudly cooed as she fed you the tenth spoonful of yoghurt and wiped your face off before holding the sippy cup up to your mouth,encouraging you to take a few sips which you did just so that she'd leave you alone so that you could fall asleep again.
After you were done with your drink you moved your head back a little with a slight whine and yawned,wanting nothing more than to fall asleep again,earning a maternal smile from Hannah.
"You did so good with your breakfast baby,let's get you changed into some warmer clothes and then we can go get some fresh air,I know you're tired,you can sleep in your stroller if you want,come on",the blonde then said before picking you up and bringing you up into your nursery again so that she could get you dressed into something warmer,the temperature outside was starting to get colder and colder,fall was in full swing right now.
The stroller that Hannah had referred to was a comfortable dark blue one,your Mommies had bought it for you a few weeks ago but there had not been an occasion for you to use it yet so today would be the first time.
Hannah worked quickly but gently,getting you dressed into some tights and a long sleeved purple winter dress with sparkles on it.
She then walked back downstairs with you in her arms,put a coat on you,sat you down into the stroller,did the straps up so that you wouldn't be able to fall out and wrapped a blanket around you.
She hadn't bothered with putting shoes on you since you wouldn't be walking anyways and the blanket was warm enough for you to not need shoes.
You already started to kind of drift off in the stroller as you closed your eyes whilst Hannah was quickly getting dressed herself and grabbed your diaper bag which she filled up with a few diapers and pull ups,a clean pacifier,a sippy cup and a bottle of apple juice before hanging it over the handle of the stroller just to be prepared,grabbing her purse and keys,lowering down the top of the stroller so that no one would be able to see your face,pushing you out of the door and locking the front door with the words:
"Let's go baby."
You immediately let out a surprised but quiet whine when the cool air started to flow around you and instantly buried yourself deeper into the blanket for more warmth.
Of course Hannah had heard that and moved to the side slightly,lowering one of her hands down into the stroller and stroking your face gently with the words:
"I know,I know it's so cold but you'll get used to it,isn't the fresh air so nice already?",cooing sympathetically when you just whined again and snuggled your face into the blanket.
"Ohh it's alright honey,Mommy's here,let's just go on a little walk and then we can go straight back home",the blonde then murmured before leaning down and giving your head a quick but gentle kiss and then going back behind the stroller and starting to push you around.
It was a quiet morning,the neighborhood children were at school and most of the neighbors were at work right now so not many people were crossing paths with you and Hannah and to be honest you were kind of enjoying the walk despite hating the cold air that was continuously brushing up against your face.
The rhythm of the stroller moving and the way that your Mommy was humming quietly to herself was starting to put you to sleep,to be honest the cold air was actually helping you to be able to breathe better and after only a few minutes you were fast asleep again.
Hannah,who'd peeked into the stroller,started to smile upon seeing that,to her you were just the cutest baby ever and she was glad that she hadn't needed to give you a pacifier to keep you calm because she didn't like giving you something to put in your mouth while it was still difficult for you to breathe through your nose properly.
The walk continued like this for about another 45 minutes,you stayed asleep during all of it and only woke up when you guys were already back at home.
As you were starting to wake up again you could already feel warm air encasing you and blinked a few times to wake up more,realizing that you were back at home in your nursery on your changing table.
You'd woken up to a diaper change,currently Hannah was taping up a new and clean diaper on you and started to smile when she realized that you were awake again.
"Hey baby,did you have a nice sleep huh,Mommy's almost done hold on",the blonde mumbled in a babyish tone of voice and put the romper from before back on you once the diaper was taped shut,watching you closely to see what kind of headspace you were in right now.
You just kind of blinked a few times again and stretched your body once Hannah was done with getting you dressed whilst you were making some babbling sounds,earning a giggle from your Mommy.
"Ohh is my baby doing such a big stretch,are you my little baby again,yes are you a little baby again?",she asked and playfully tickled your stomach a bit,noticing the fact that you'd slipped into a younger headspace again,like you'd done yesterday and earned a small giggle from you.
"I think that means yes,so Mommy has a very little baby right now again huh?",Hannah then said in a sing-song tone of voice as she lifted you back up into her arms again,this time supporting your head immediately as she was doing that and holding it up against her shoulder because she'd learned from yesterday.
"M..mmmm..m",you mumbled to yourself,trying to say Mommy but it wasn't really working because you were too little right now,so you opted for suckling on Hannah's skin above her collarbone instead,taking the blonde by surprise.
"Oh my,is my baby starting to get hungry again or do you just want a paci huh?",Hannah then asked in a surprised tone of voice but obviously didn't get a reply from you,you just kept on suckling on her skin,enjoying being close to her.
The blonde then tried offering you a pacifier instead a few times because she didn't want a hickey but you weren't having it and spit the pacifier out every time before then latching back on onto her skin and continuing to suckle on it.
The blonde then tried offering you a bottle next but every time that she was moving your head away from her body and held the bottle up to your mouth you started to cry and turned your head away,you didn't want a pacifier or a bottle,you just wanted your Mommy!!
Knowing that Liana was on her lunch break right now Hannah decided to give her a call,unsure of how to handle this.
You immediately used that opportunity and shifted in her arms slightly so that you could comfortably suckle on the skin over her collarbone again and latched on quickly whilst she was distracted with telling Liana what was going on.
You were immediately feeling much calmer now and contently continued to suckle on your Mommy's skin,not listening to a word that she was saying to Liana.
"Liana come on help me,I don't want a hickey",Hannah whined a bit with a pout on her face,earning an amused laugh from her wife.
"Hahaha chill Han,what would you rather have,an upset baby or a hickey?",the brunette asked,causing Hannah to sigh in defeat.
"I guess a hickey..but just wait until she's sucking on your skin and refusing to let go so,I'm gonna be the one that's laughing then",the blonde then threatened,earning another laugh from her wife before they ended the call by telling eachother how much they loved one another.
Little did Hannah know that this had only been the calm before the storm....
Compared to the afternoon the morning had been heavenly.
Currently you were in a toddler headspace again,crying and screaming because you were so sick and in so much pain,fighting Hannah on everything,you didn't want food,you didn't want anything to drink,you didn't want a diaper change,you didn't want a bath,etc,it was very exhausting for Hannah and the blonde couldn't wait for Liana to come back home from work and help her.
"NO MOMMY",you cried and wriggled around as she was trying to change your diaper,kicking and hitting around,you were upset because you'd just had a sad accident,somehow you'd gotten diarrhea and had pooped yourself for the first time in like 16 or 17 years which had upset you very much,so much so that you weren't thinking clearly and trashing around whilst Hannah was just trying to help you.
"Shh it's okay,calm down baby,Mommy needs you to stay calm so that she can change your yucky diaper okay",the blonde mumbled as she was cleaning you up whilst trying not to get kicked,it had taken her a while but eventually she'd been able to clean you up and to change your diaper successfully.
After that you did calm down a bit for a little while and let Hannah sit you down on one of the Couches in the Movie room with a sippy cup that was filled with chocolate milk and some apple slices and your favorite TV Show to keep you entertained.
The blonde used that time to clean up the house a bit,her hair was clipped back effortlessly with a claw clip but she was too exhausted to care about that right now.
She didn't get much housework done though because you kept constantly crying for her because you were so upset over the fact that you had a bad case of diarrhea,Hannah had to clean you up a few more times during the afternoon and you were getting very upset each time although you weren't reacting as intensely as the first time that it had happened today anymore whenever she was changing you.
Because you were being so clingy and kept crying whenever she tried to leave you alone in the room Hannah had decided to just stay with you which was why the both of you were currently snuggled up together on one of the Couches in the Movie room,Cinderella was playing on the TV and you were half lying on top of Hannah to be as close to her as possible.
The blonde had figured out that you liked skin on skin contact and that it was soothing to you which was why she was just in a bra right now.
Your face was lying on top of her left breast and one of your hands was holding onto one of her bra straps tightly so that she wouldn't leave you,this was all that you'd wanted all day,to just be close to your Mommy which was why you were being calm and quiet right now and were just enjoying the closeness between you and her.
After a little bit you did start to think about wanting her to breastfeed you but you didn't know how to ask for this because you were so little and also sick right now,so you just pushed your face even deeper against her breast,moved your other hand away from her bra strap and cupped her breast with it instead before starting to softly suck on the swell of her breast,hoping that she'd get the hint and take her bra off so that you could readjust in her arms and actually nurse.
You'd felt Hannah flinch in surprise as soon as you'd started to suckle on her skin though,causing you to feel bad about it and stopped instantly.
"Sorry Mommy",you then immediately whispered apologetically as tears started to well up in your eyes and buried your face in her shoulder upon seeing that Hannah had noticed your tears.
"It's okay honey,don't cry,do you want to nurse,is that what you've been trying to tell me?",the blonde cooed comfortingly in response and started to run a soft hand up and down your back in an attempt to calm you down when she felt you first nodding against her shoulder and then starting to shake slightly as quiet sobs were starting to leave your mouth.
