What next? How long!?

[oneteddybear]

Kanes "sleep" last night was terrible. He was up every twenty minutes when I could even get him to sleep. Besides for the random sleep he screamed all night. I changed him, tried to feed him, held him close, walked around, rocked him, put him in his swing, his chair, layed next to him, layed him on my chest. He would not stop screaming! What didnt I do that I could try? I tried taking a layer off and putting one on. Swaddled not swaddled. I don't know what to try next. He hasnt slept much, I haven't slept. I need help, I'm at my wits end. :/ please someone give me your wisdom.

How is he doing now? Is he usually a good sleeper? Did you try giving him something incase he was in pain. Maybe teething or something.

He is normally a fairly good sleeper and a super good eater. I gave him some tylnol. He has runny poo compared to normal and keeps holding his right ear. He crys when I touch his mouth I just tried to look in.

sounds like teething.get some teething powders and calpol if it gets bad x

 

[oneteddybear]

What counts as bad? He is already just crying all the time. I thought it was already bad?

That certainly sounds like teething, have you tried letting him gum on frozen stuff yet? Or some orajel? If that doesn't help anything, then I would also suspect illness but rule out teething first...

Sounds like teething to me. Hope he cuts the tooth soon so you both get relief soon x

I gave him a frozen cloth that worked for awhile but he's a huge grump and doesn't want anything to do with me

I believe it's teething but how long does it take to cut a tooth? It should come through soon right? We have both had two sleepless
nights. And he really needs some rest!

I would take him to the dr just to rule out any ear infections or other problems. If it's teething there's not a lot you can do. I found nurofen worked better than calpol when Ashley was really bad.
