Ok who took my little "monster" and replaced her with a REAL MONSTER??? I say "monster" because that is her little cute nickname. She has this weird way when she sleeps -- she puts her hands up next to her head -- like a Monster.. It is meant with endearment not to be mean. (Which my mom hates). Her daddy gave her the little nickname -- it has stuck. She then gurgles like a monster might.
I say REAL MONSTER - because last Friday we went for photos (she was a perfect angel until the very last one). Then she was pouty and slamming her legs down. (That is her newest trick). I wanted to go scrap booking in the neighborhood when she gave her daddy -- nothing but problems. I was 2 doors away; however, my husband never called me to come home. When I got home he told me she cried for 2 hours - and just finally went to sleep at 11:00. What?? Why??? She was screaming the entire time he said. Ok well she just missed her mom, Right? Nope. She did the same thing again Saturday, and Sunday night. OK HELP something is wrong. She isn't like that normally. Ok Monday - she screamed the entire day. Not just a little scream - an ear piercing/ make you deaf scream. Like she is in pain. I tried everything bath, massage, feeding, burping, (trying to re leave gas), changed her diaper.
So I called my mom first -- after all she had 2 kid right? She offered the same things I tried. She said well you know ear infections run in the family (and apparently so with my husband).
Ok check her ears -- nothing out of the ordinary - ok 2nd step Call the Dr.
So I call the Dr. -- Dr. said -- well sounds like she is teething. WHAT?? She is only 3 1/2 months old. Dr. said, "open her mouth and see if you can see anything in the lower gum area that is white, or see if they are bright red". Ok -- so I did and what did I find not one little white bump but two.
So that would explain what happened to my little "monster" -- She has started teething.
That would explain her attitude. Oh I love Baby Orajel though.. It works wonders.
On a previous post I mentioned issue with B/F -- and only wanting it in the AM well I met with 2 lactation consultants only for them to say, "I never heard of that it will be $$$$XXXX amount of money." For what you didn't do anything.
Well apparently I have tried allot of things - somethings more than once and nothing, until the other day she just started B/F a few more times through out the day. YES!!!!! Hey I know it might only be 5 more but it is 5 more.
