Hi Hun sorry to hear your lo is not looking to well, the good thing she is happy. Is she chomping on her hands or toys as a sign on her teething? If you’re worried Hun take her into the gp or a chemist where a pharmacist can recommend something to ease it too and her cheeks. Has she got a temp ? Xx

Could she be overwarm? Small babies don't regulate heat well so if you wrap them up too much they can overheat.

If she's well with not temp doesn't seem anything worrying

thanx I thought it was teething they also get spots on their face I'm told as well x

I was told teeth can move up and down inside the gums up to 12 times before they come through, so it probably is teething, but you still might not see the pesky things come through the gums for a few months yet. Good luck
