@jimbobcooter I was just coming in here to ask how teething tablets are working for you. I'm desperate for anything right now and H was in the city yesterday and me today and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it earlier. DD is miserable with her cold and one tiny portion of a freaking molar poking through. I even took her to the doctor today of of desperation that there may be an ear infection or something needing treating because she's so unhappy but there was nothing else seemingly going on other than stupid virus and teething. She can't sleep, she now won't put a bottle in her mouth, so I'm sure she's overtired and starving on top of it all. Ughhh poor kids.
@akwild, I think it's completely necessary to do something almost every day. That's why we go to so many things, and it's why quarantine has been rough this week.
@jimbobcooter, I swear by Anbesol for teething pains. It's a liquid local anaesthetic that you rub on baby's gums and it's magical. Don't know if there's anything similar over there!
I think L is finally asleep. Bedtime should not last three and a half hours. Praying that she sleeps tonight, and whilst I'm at it, praying for all the other J15 babies to sleep beautifully tonight!
Thanks. I'm feeling really complainy when there's a lot of babies going through a lot more. It's just been a long time since I've felt this defeated, I hate that there is so very little I can do to help her right now.
Bright side, during one screaming (wtf that just autocorrected to screw K'tan hahahaha. I love my k'tan I don't know where that came from!) fit today I was trying so hard to soothe her and DS came into the room and kissed the back of her head and she immediately opened her eyes and gave me a huge smile. I swear he's 2.5 and drives me and her up the wall somedays but dang their little connection will always make everything better!

pghtruelove have you tried the saline solution? When A was really congested I used it in addition to the Nose Frida, but it helps break up the congestion some on its own.
junch817 I'm glad you got some good news and it's not an ear infection. I hope your LO feels better soon. I second PP's that it could be from teething. Pain anywhere in the jaw can radiate back through his facial nerves and the last tooth we had break through had absolutely no warning signs.
tiffbot I hope the stomach bug passes through quickly
@jimbobcooter we have a twinkle toes dog too and they can wake A up from a dead sleep. I found these at Big Lots yesterday and I tempted to go back and get them for Boatey.
Our electricity is fixed! So thankful that something worked out today.
V is a mess. He was super fussy today at daycare, and had a fever of 102 by dinnertime, so he and I will be home together tomorrow. I'm actually excited about this because I am SO FUCKING TIRED. All that I could think about today at work was sleep, and it will be nice to lounge and rest tomorrow.
Oh, and he tumbled headfirst off of the couch with H and I right next to him. He mostly somersaulted and didn't cry much or seem injured, but we both felt terrible.
LT's for the electricity and you hopefully getting some rest tomorrow.
Don't feel too bad about V taking a tumble. A rolled right off the couch with me yesterday because I got distracted for a minute. He barely fussed but I felt like MOTY.
I can not keep up with these threads at all this week.
O woke up at 4 am this morning. H said she fell asleep just as soon as they left to head to daycare and our DCP said she slept til 9. Unfortunately, this mama didn't get to go back to sleep. I'm exhausted! Her cough is totally gone, but we are still doing breathing treatments until at least Friday.
On another note, my phone has gone bat shit crazy and it's pissing me off!
I just give my bottles a good rinse and throw them in the dishwasher. Am I doing it wrong?
We don't run out dishwasher enough for the supply of bottles we have. Plus, I find hand washing does a better job. The dishwasher always leaves a residue.
Fai eough! We use tap watr so Ioften rinse them as I make bottles (so after they've been through the dishwasher). My big complaint is that we don't have enough drying rack space!

Sorry to hear about everyone's rough days. I have been dealing with ridiculous insomnia, so that's been fun. I went to put J in his crib at his usual naptimr, and he decided to sit up and start giggling at me. I checked on him 10 minutes later and he was at least lying down, so I left him there and went and took a nap myself.
Music class in the morning, so we will actually manage to get out of the house before it's time to head to daycare.
I've been freezing his purees in the silicone feeder so he gets food and relief from teething pain. Maybe that could help during the time they are refusing to eat.

We don't run our dishwasher everyday, so we usually hand wash our bottles. We usually trade off washing them so it's not as bad as having to do them nightly.
