tiffbot , My friend calls them Swedish pancakes too. I haven't had them in several years and they sound amazing right now. We slather them in butter, then sprinkle brown sugar or powdered sugar on them and roll them up. Man now I want Swedish pancakes!
Busy day yesterday. I ended up taking C to he Dr because he was getting worse with drinking his bottles. (I think I dumped more formula Sunday than he actually drank, and he didn't have much food food because I wanted him to drink more of his bottles). And because he was pulling at his ear. Dr. said ears checked out fine, tested him for strep~ came back fine. Told me it was just his teething. Then gave me an informational page on teething (going to quote this because it makes me laugh)
"Most children have completely painless teething. They only symptoms are increased saliva, drooling, and a desire to chew on things. Teething occasionally causes some mild gum pain, but it usually doesn't cause any crying or interfere with sleep.
Because teeth erupt almost continuously from 6 months to 2 years of age, many unrelated illnesses are blamed on teething. Fevers are also common during his time because after he age of 6 months, infants lose the natural protection provided by their mothers' antibodies.
Pain Medicine:
Pain medicines usually are not needed for the mild discomfort of teething. If the pain increases and doesn't respond to gum massage, give Tylenol for 1 day.
Common myths about teething:
Teething does not cause fever, sleep problems, diarrhea, diaper rash, or lowered resistance to any infection. It probably doesn't cause crying. If your baby develops a fever while teething, the fever is caused by something else."
What a bunch of $#i+.
The pedi did tell me I can make some Chamomile tea and put "no more than 1oz, twice a day" in his bottle . Just use that instead of water since he didn't think C would drink the tea straight(5oz water, and 1oz tea for a 6oz bottle). Something in the tea is supposed to help (the same ingredient that is in the teething tablets.) He told me to pick C's worse time of day and do it then.
