The Onion Wrap worked! Sven thought she looked too funny, so had to take pictures. I'm just glad she finally let us put it on her and left it there without vomiting!
That's right, we did end up managing to put the onion wrap on Georgia's ear and guess what? she woke up the next morning with a very low-grade fever! She even spent the day playing. Well, to be honest, she spent the day testing her boundaries and using her illness as an 'out'. She would do something naughty and when reprimanded, would turn on the waterworks. It was a generally trying day with a recovering (naughty) Georgie and a baby who wouldn't let me put him down.
The evening however, was much, much worse. About the time Sven got home, Georgia started whining and she didn't stop whining until around 6am. Sven spent the night with her, she refused to stay in bed and then ended up vomiting (again). Exhausting. She woke up quite cheerful though, and has spent the day in a much better mood. She even woke up from her nap in a good mood, for the first time in over a week!
So basically, if your baby has an ear-infection, don't turn your nose up at putting diced onions in a packet on her ear...you might be surprised!
