Oh, my poor baby. He is currently cutting three molars. Three! This last week has been a challenge for sure. I feel so bad for giving him all this medicine, but he NEEDS it. Can I underline the word NEEDS, please?
On top of the teething, we are still having issues with constipation. I try and give him a good variety of foods, including grains, fruits, and as many veggies as he will eat. No luck. If it's not his teeth waking him up, or preventing him from sleeping, it's his bloated belly. I am beginning to wonder if he has an allergy or intolerance to something in his diet. I actually purchased some probiotics that I am going to start him on. They are proven to help with digestive health and immune strength. And, I figured since he had problems with thrush a while back, this will help with that too. The trifecta!
Me, on the other hand. I'm just trying to get through each day. I can feel my nerves beginning to frazzle. Eli starts to get into trouble when he isn't feeling well, doing things he shouldn't. Then I feel stressed, so I am super picky about what he is doing and feel like I am telling him no all the time. When he is cranky, I need to PICK MY BATTLES and let the rest slide. Which is usually what I do, I just lose sight when the times get tough.
It also doesn't help that this last month I have been sick, for 90% of it. We are all finally feeling better, so I am hoping next week we will be more active! Just in time for the good weather.
Hopefully these teeth come through very quick. I'm beginning to think I should buy stock in Target's brand of infant advil......

I would be up for sharing the stock of Motrin! Though Nate is mostly done now with teeth I'm sure the next child will be the same. I hope April is a better month for you all! ((HUGS))
