Fussiness...

MOM... i know you're talking about me.....
Fussy: easily upset, irritable....
This is what my son has been today. i have no idea why he is so fussy. i feel so bad for him, yet at the same time quite annoyed. its hard to explain. Sleep was not heard of last night. He woke up at 2- 5- 7- 8- and did fall back to sleep until 1030... AAAHHHHH! Its enough to drive a person mad. The lack of sleep is the only thing that is hard to adjust to. everything else is a joy... (except the diapers) and thank you Chantelle for that HILARIOUS clip about dads and babies. That made me laugh so hard i cried.
if i ask my mom what he needs all she says is: "he needs his Gramma"... that doesn't help very much. He wasn't hungry, he wasn't wet, he wasn't hot, he wasn't in pain... he just cried. he didn't want to be held, he didn't want to be put down...
any suggestions?

Your other post said that his doc said he might be an early teether...? Maybe that's what's been bothering him. I know when Levi teeths, he is pretty much inconsolable. Drives me up the wall too, so you're not alone on that one.

The things I've had success with to help Levi with teething pain (if that's what Jayden is having) is Orajel, teething tablets and if worse comes to worse - baby tylenol.

All the best! Jayden's cute as ever. Love the chub-chub ;o)

I wish I could have seen you pregnant... I'm sure you were adorable.

I'd have to agree with the teething theory. Though none of mine got teeth until later, it's a definite possibility.

Other than that, sometimes they just like to make mommy miserable for no apparent reason at all... most likely because they know we will love them more than life no matter what.
