Benadryl is 1 MG per pound. I round up, so for her I would give 25 MG. summergirl1211 I think it would take like the whole bottle to od.
Okay, thanks vanessalc! That makes me feel better. Is Claritin the same dosage or different? And is that dosage once per day, or several? Sorry for all of the questions.
I have to look it up. I'll send you a message with that info.
My poor girl... E is getting THREE teeth at the same time. She only has four right now (2 top/bottom center). Last week her top left incisor poked through and seems to have stopped. Then Saturday the top right incisor poked through... yesterday, or literally last night while at the mall (after meeting up with some of you lovely ladies) she started to cut a molar!!
Seriously, a molar on the right side. Poor kid has been miserable. I had to rock her to sleep last night and it took her forever to calm down. Today, while H was home with the girls he said she was just screaming for like over an hour and completely inconsolable. She wouldn't let him hold her, she wouldn't lay down.... Three teeth are coming in at once. Joey never got like this with teething. I feel so bad for her.
Only potential positive (?!?!) is that she's started chewing and sucking a little bit on a pacifier, which she's basically rejected for the last year.... and she's been sucking on sippy cups too

Aww poor E trixi282. Hopefully those suckers pop through soon. Just keep alternating the ibuprofen and Tylenol when she's in pain. Hopefully the sucking will help with her oral aversion.

Have you guys tried the teavana berry sangria tea at Starbucks? It's soooo good. My kids asked for a sip of mine and drank half the cup. I was a little pissed about it. No more sharing the good stuff.

I did Tylenol last night, late, and again this morning before I left for work. And then H was giving her Tylenol when i reminded him he could alternate with Motrin.... Hopeful tomorrow and Thursday go ok at daycare, and grandparents are getting the girls in the evenings since I'm traveling again for work this week. Boo.

trixi282,Poor E! That sucks so bad when it's more than 1. I agree, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise and help with the oral aversions? One can only hope. She looked so happy the other night. It's so easy to forget she still struggles with things.

My H is being such a negative Nancy right now. I don't want to kill him, it just really gets to me. I can't hold him up. I got my own stuff to deal with and am having a ton of anxiety right now that I'm keeping my head above water on. I let him get a $2000 mower, money for dumpsters so he can hit the ground running on his garage remodel. I'm holding off doing anything I want to do on the house until his stuff is underway or done so that he feels like he is first and taken care of. But seriously - it was humid last night and the painting HE CHOSE to do start melting off the walls. So he started yelling and sulking like a 2 year old. "Nothing goes my way with this house!?!?!" Sigh. And I just have to bite my tongue and be supportive wife and coddle him. I'm really over negative people at this stage in my life. Just accept it, bitch for a minute, and find your solution. The world is not ending.
xanthepants, I feel you. My H complains a lot. More than in the past. Most of the things he complains about are things he has brought on himself and that are completely in his control to cut out or fix, but he would rather whine like a 3 year old. I really just want to tell him to suck it up. I may have actually done that recently.
trixi282 - Poor E I hope those teeth cut through quickly so the poor girl isn't in so much pain.
xanthepants - Sorry YH is being so negative. It can be really draining. Hopefully the rest of his project goes without any major issues so he can get over it.
trixi282, poor kid! I did get a little excited about the paci, hopefully that's a trend she will continue. xanthepants,so annoying. somethingcleverer, I did not like that berry sangria at all! Even Cooper didn't like it. I'll stick with my Passion fruit iced tea (sometimes with lemonade)

trixi282, poor girl! I hope she starts to get some relief soon. 3 teeth at once is awful! Safe travels girlie.
xanthepants, I'm sorry that he's being that way. You're sweet for being the loving, supportive wife that I know you are. But don't forget about your needs too! I just want to see you happy.

xanthepants you are such an amazing wife. Your H is so lucky to have found someone as caring and supportive as you are. I will never be even half as amazing as you because that shit gets so annoying really fast. When I see H stomping around pouting because "nothing ever goes his way" I roll my eyes and he sees it. I just can't because I already have two children that throw tantrums I don't need an adult who does it too. I even try to be understanding and try to see things from his side but I need to leave the room or do something else because I just can't handle that attitude.
I agree with summergirl to make sure you are doing some stuff for you too. You need to have an outlet too.
A couple of baby questions for you because I forget everything.
When did you let your kids start sleeping with little pillows, stuffed animals, etc? Do you switch them to whole milk or skim at 1? Thanks!
Right there with you in terms of forgetting things tribute17! I think Riley was about 1 before we put a larger blanket or anything in her crib, although she had some A&A lovies we put in before then. She was never a stuffed animal baby so we didn't feel the need to try those things. At 1 we did 2% milk I believe because Riley was always at the top of the weight chart. Around 18 months we moved to skim, I think. We did do the whole milk yogurt for her though.
Vera got a pillow around 18 months and a bigger blanket around a year. She did formula/breast milk until 1, then whole milk until 2. However, she does have 1% a lot now because that's what everyone else drinks
One reason I ask is that my baby will be 1 tomorrow! I can't believe it. And I can count on one hand how many times he has slept all night. I'm willing to try anything. I'm thinking a pillow might help if his ears are bothering him.
Kayleigh was about 18 months when we gave her a pillow. Andrew (20 months) doesn't have one yet (because I'm lazy), but sleeps with one when we are camping. Andrew has whole milk. At around 2 is usually when they say you can switch to lower fat milks.

Freya started sleeping with a blankie at 5.5 months. I put a stuffed animal in her crib about a month ago? And she sleeps with cushy bumpers because she was hitting her head on the crib and waking herself up several times per night

Well shit. Now I think we did whole milk for awhile too. I can't remember any of these milestones!

I'm sure my pedi thinks I'm crazy. He probably looks at me and says, hasn't she done this before? How can she not know this?

Honestly I don't remember the pillow thing with Dagny. I do think she had a light blanket when she was around 1 but not sure. And she had a blankie starting around 6 months.
I weaned Dagny cold turkey to whole milk at 13 months. I plan on starting the transition with Freya next week (11 months) because I need her weaned before she's 1
Matthew has had a fever since Tuesday night. It will get up to around 101/102 and then come back down to normal with meds. He's been complaining that his stomach hurts, but it's just every so often I think when his fever is spiking.
I've always been the type to just wait these things out because most of time the Drs just say it's viral and nothing can be given anyways, but now we are on day 3 and I'm starting to worry a little more. So you think I should wait another day or 2, or take him in today?
ETA he isn't up yet for the day, so not sure if he has a fever right now, but he woke up middle of the night and was burning up, so I gave him stuff then.
junkytrunk, I would probably at least put in a call to the pedi. I would most likely take him in. I don't like to be left hanging over the weekend when the kids are sick.
junkytrunk I would maybe bring him in since the weekend is coming up. If it wasn't Friday I would maybe wait, but since it is, I would get him checked out
