Baby #1 has been extremely grumpy the past few days...She's having trouble eating, pooing, sleeping and just being her happy self. She used to be a happy go lucky kid and this teething thing has gotten to the both of us :( She's miserable and I can't imagine what she's going through, but it's been tough on me too.
She doesn't enjoy eating lately. Sometimes her mouth hurts so much she screams when the spoon touches her gums. I try to give her cold fruit puree and cool apple juice to soothe her sore gums.
She screams when she has to go poo. Kinda like she did when she was constipated, but the poo isn't that hard. She also has been having these explosive diarrhea type poos. They leak out of her diaper onto her onesie! This leakage has happened three times now. Good thing is, she is so comfortable and happy after wards.
She's napping now and even that has changed. She likes to bury her face in the bumper pads and this is stressing out daddy. I tried to remove the bumper pads and we know where that lead to. I tried to sleep her in the middle of the crib away from the edges and she manages to push herself to the corner. Two things that I have started. One, lie her width wise so she can't grab too much of the fabric and use a crochet blanket to cover her. So far, so good. I mean she's not burying her face now.
In terms of pain relief, I have tried teethers, cool vegetable to chew on, Sofie and Tempera. Tempera is the last resort and I have had to resort to it at least once a day. It seems like the end of the day is better
I hope her teeth come out soon so she stops drooling and returns to her happy self.
