He didn’t sleep really well last night and his cries were different. He wasn’t hungry and when i tried to give him milk, after a few sucks, he will stop. And so I decided to search and read about it. These have been going on for many nights already. Almost a week, thinking back. I attributed his disturbed sleep to the heat and also his stuffed nose earlier. Now that his stuffed nose is gone, it may just be early signs of teething.
Let’s see….
- baby has become more fussy and clingy and cries more at night - check
- dribbling alot - check
- urge to bite to try to ease the pain, so they've started chewing on their fingers and anything else they can get hold of - check
- flushed cheeks - check
- temperature slightly raised (but not above 39degC, which indicates a fever) - not so sure
- gums are swollen and red - haven't seen
- demand the breast more - check
- or may reject the breast because their gums hurt
- poor appetite - check
- not sleeping well - check
8 out of 10..hmmm possibly true. Will have to 'investigate and pay close attention to him to see if its true.
