teeth?

The past two nights have been very hard on baby Cash. He has not been sleeping well, probably waking up every 2 hours or so. He is very unhappy when he wakes up in the middle of the night and actually cries - opposed to just stirring and making a little noise to let me know he is up (which is what he normally does). He’s been so uncomfortable in fact that he scratched his eye pretty badly, something he only does when he is frustrated and his hands become uncontrollable. Both nights he has woken up wet. Usually his super absorbent diapers keep everything in all night and then some. Now he has a little fever and runny nose and just seems generally uncomfortable. I can only assume since his runny nose is clear and just a nuisance that it isn’t an infection and signals teething and not an actual cold. I gave him some baby Tylenol and sent him off to daycare – I think this weekend will be nice for him to just relax and be taken care of by mamma.

it's so hard to hear that when he's so helpless. this too will pass.

yup sounds like teeth. when did you get your first teeth? it's usually similar timing.

diaper rash? that was a sure sign way back when. nothing you can do but wait it out.
