its 4 am...............

yup..needed to hear that..I am going to call when the office opens..

poor little man and poor mommy :(    i hope they can do something right away and not make you wait!!

Niko is teething too and is an otherwise laid back baby. He wakes up screaming and gnawing on his hands...even with motrin. So, I feel ya. One thing I've found over the last few weeks that REALLY helps him is giving him a thick slice of very cold seedless cucumber. The cold helps and, as I am writing this, I just realized that it's probably helping the swelling- like when they put them on puffy eyes at a spa. He loves them and they're cheap. I also bought a bag of frozen peach slices and I let him gnaw on those in his high chair while I'm cooking. They get kinda slimey.

Hugs,
Angie

if he's taking so little, he could be getting dehydrated.  i didn't read other responses, so maybe someone else already said that.  i'd call the dr just for peace of mind.  hugs to you both.  love ya

yeah  I  went this am.. Dr still thinks it is a virus and its roseola? he doesn't have a rash though and has had the fever since Thursday night..so I am not on board with that but will wait one more day then I want blood work.
Aiden was calm and in pretty good spirits when I took him in..making mommy look like a lunatic... so I just don't know. Dr prescribed antibiotic, benadry and Tylenol every 4 hrs..
sigh.............................

If it IS teething, I would strongly suggest Hylands Teething Tablets, I would not have survived three teething children at the same time without them. They rock.

thanks..I have never used them..never had even heard of them and this is my 4th baby..sigh I must live under a rock lol.. I meant to get some this am when I got Aidens prescription filled..and forgot..so I have to go back out..once my husband is home though... :-)

Hugs, Tricia!!

I know how stressful it is and how helpless you feel!  And the whole thing is just compounded by lack of sleep.  

If it is teething, I would also recommend the Hyland's Teething tablets.  Sometimes they don't have them out -- you have to ask the pharmacist.  They don't require a prescription,  but sometimes they keep them behind the counter.

thanks Cindy,
I will for sure get them after DH comes home.. I am exhausted.I am going to try to catch a nap if at all possible..hard with 4 kids running around.
hugs
Tricia
