What Causes 11 Month Old To Be Lethargic And Subdued?
My 11 month old is really lethargic and subdued. There s a million reasons why this could be; she s getting over a cold, has a cough, just started nursery but I ve just realised my cleaner used my washing up sponge to clean the sink. I then used this to clean my babies cups (not thinking), although I did also sterilise after. Could I have inadvertently poisoned her?

very unlikely. No there is no such danger since you have also sterilized later.
the only possibility was infection leading to diarrhea but as you have noted symptoms could be due to number of reasons.If lethargy is for quite some time baby needs a hemoglobin & thyroid assessment also. cold medicnes also may lead to sedation.
