I just don't know why he's waking up crying constantly. Can it just be teeth? Tylenol doesn't help.
This is is during teething. We've found ibuprofen to be more effective than Tylenol. And time.
Is that an option now? I haven't even considered it because I've been having to use the fever-all suppository for so long. But A has finally let me give him liquid Tylenol again this week so I might try it.

I think it's 6+ months? I know I mentioned using it to my doctor at the 9 month checkup and he said it makes sense that it's more helpful because of the anti inflammatory aspect.

This happens to us too @erbear. If M goes to sleep by 6:30 hell sleep til close to 6, if he goes to bed at 7 or later, he's up at 5 am, past few weeks.

Ugh, it's so frustrating! Like, don't you need more sleep, kid?!

Sooo just wondering how weird my kid is. He will not sleep with a blanket on him. I just figured out the issue today. He started refusing to co-sleep around 7 months and would do amazingly well in his crib. Usually he'll go along with a short nap with me in the morning, but not all night. When he was fighting me this morning, I realized my blanket was over his legs and when I removed it, he settled. Tonight, MH dressed him in his summer PJs and I thought he might be a little chilly, so I covered him up after he fell asleep. He immediately started wiggling and fussing until I took it back off again. What a weirdo! His blankets are the softest things!

This happens here, too. I've made the mistake so many times of being glad he stayed up until 7 or 8pm. Nope, was still up at 6, or earlier. But then he'll sleep from 6pm - 7am sometimes. WTF.

I jinxed myself. Fell asleep at 6, but was up and sitting in his crib from 5 til 5:45 when I gave up on him falling back asleep. Doesn't help that my cats were assholes from 4:30 on so I'll be drinking all the coffee.
I also had insomnia after the 4:30 cat wakeup- couldn't fall back asleep budders. That's the worst. I think mine was from having too much wine though because of extra anxiety this past week.

Also being woken up by my fucking cat and then not being able to go back to sleep! The other night the cat woke me at 3, oscar at 4, DH's alarm at 5, and oscar up at 6. Zzz zzzZZZZzzz
Ali has 1 right upper front tooth coming in this morning. I was worried from all the short naps, shitty night sleep and arching back, pulling on ears etc. then I saw that this morning and it's a relief to know it's finally peeking through!!

Glad you see something for all the effort! We have a fully swollen mouth here and only two half way out bottom teeth to show for it. How many teeth does Ali have already?
So I've still been rocking O to sleep mostly. She sometimes will fall asleep if I put her in her crib drowsy, but I just love holding and rocking her. Well lately, she has gotten really aggressive with the hair pulling and scratching as she's falling asleep. Her one arm just flails around feeling for something to scratch or pull. It freaking hurts!! Last night she scratched the shit out of the back of my arm. It makes me sad to think that the rocking days are coming to an end in the near future. Sigh.

Babies go through a lot a phases so it doesn't mean that's coming to an end.

She has just 2 bottom front teeth. Then the swollen top 2 front w just a little bit peaking out. She's doing much better today, but it's really affecting her naps. She cannot stop pulling on her face and ears.

Hope they come out soon and she starts feeling better.

My baby slept through the night Saturday into Sunday. Now, with her dad gone, she's been up every two hours. She's been like wailing, too, and I'm not sure if it's teeth - we've just got two little razor blades peeking through and swollen gums on top - or she knows dad's gone or what, but this is rough.
I did give her a half dose of Motrin in case it is teeth.
