Here are the facts: Lil is fussy. Lil is rarely ever fussy. Lil is not sleeping through the night again. In fact, she is waking every few hours and refused to take a nap all weekend. It is as if she does not want to lay flat on her back. She has not been running a fever and otherwise seems to be well, though her reflux has been a little worse than usual. Lil is eating non-stop, but this isn't that different than baseline behavior. I checked her tiny little mouth for erupting teeth as she has been extra drooly and chewy lately. She wasn't exactly into this, but in my quick exam it seemed that maybe she is getting a tooth over to the side (odd) but nothing has poked through yet. In spite of her otherwise compliant temperment, Lil is refusing to disclose the exact nature of her malfunction.
Conclusion: Teething or ear infection? She has not experienced either to date so I don't really know what to expect. Praying it is only teeth given the history we have with chronic ear infections in this family.
Real conclusive conclusion: I wish babies could tell you what is wrong with them!
