These past couple days have been a little rougher than usual for us. Janie started fussing more at night and her naps and feeds have been a little less predictable during the days. In fact, this afternoon she flat out refused her 3:00 pm bottle with Mirian. This is the bottle that she usually guzzles down in 5 minutes because she’s just woken from her 2-hour nap. When I tried to give it to her at 7:00 pm, she refused is again and preferred to nurse. Dumping the milk down the sink was so painful to see but I couldn’t keep it.
She also didn’t want to eat her purees that evening, which started to worry me. Later that evening, she had a hard time sleeping (just like the night before) and when I put my finger in her mouth to check her gums she screamed. I didn’t feel any teeth but something’s hurting in there. So I gave her a frozen teething ring and she loved it. I fact, I had to give her a second one after the first one wasn’t cold anymore. So, let’s chalk this weirdness to teething. I gave her some Tylenol and she slept for most of the night. Finally.
