What a day
Just need a bit of a moan...
Alfie has not been himself the last couple of days. Hes woken up at about 5.30am for the past 2 nights and doesnt seem to settle in his cot for his daytime naps. I must have put his dummy in about 20 times for each nap which is very unlike him.
Tbh i think im in a bit of shock as hes quite predictable and a good baby. He usually goes from 9pm-7am. He doesnt even seem to be that hungry when hes getting up that early.
Hes got over his snuffly nose so i know its not that. Hubby and i took him off dentinox because hes over 3 months (thats when colic is meant to clear).
Whats wrong with him? I wish they could tell you! Hes been a bit sicky and shoving everything in his mouth. Is it teething? Is it colic AGAIN? Has he got a poorly tummy (because i weaned him at 14 wks-he was constantly hungry)?
He doesnt seem to be crying in pain and has been smiling and laughing but just not his usual self. Sorry about the rant-its been quite a draining few days and im sure others have got bigger problems than this but i even feel better just writing this.
Thanks for listening (or reading lol)

Have you tried any teething gels?
Hope he's feeling more like himself soon x
Hope hes feeling better soon and gives you a bit of a break.
Take care x
Have you tried teething gel? I have dentinox and if Cole is grizzly for no apparent reason and shoving his hands in his mouth I just stick some on his gums and he usually settles down.
Hope he's feeling better soon
Suz - Bren has been the same the last few weeks and you can see the white teeth coming through on his bottom gum. As Kia says I just slap on some teething gel when it seems to really bother him and it seems to calm him down. x
Didnt think about a growth spurt emma.
Have got the dentinox gel and been rubbing it on all day!
Have to say though, i was a bit chicken today and stayed out for most of it as i knew alfie would sleep in his buggy (bad mum). He was awke again at 5.30am-i am not liking this new time-its such a shock to the system! Trouble is he goes back to sleep after a while but i have to stay up to get eldest sorted for school.
No rest for the wicked as they say!
