There gums should also look swollen and you can usually feel the tooth about to cut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-separation-anxiety-why-dont-babies-come-with-manuals#post-657094 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:05:01 +0000 littlebittyhouse 657094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, sometimes I don't know what it is so I just do whatever I need to do to make him happy.</p> <p>She might be going through something developmental - working on a new skill - and just want you around more. </p> <p>I find that if my LO is being fussy for a long period of time (not like him) and I've tried everything then a half dose of tylenol will do the trick.</p> <p>I have to think that sometimes they are like us and just not feeling like themselves excpet that they can't say I have a headache, toothache, my tummy is upset, i miss you today etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-separation-anxiety-why-dont-babies-come-with-manuals#post-657022 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:45:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 657022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>holy crap..I cannot figure my kid out. 6 months next week!</p> <p>last night and the night before she slept pretty awesome..woke every 3-4 hours as normal, but better than every hour which is what she's been doing since january. for the past month or so she's been in her crib, and the past 2-3 weeks refuses to be rocked - will fall asleep in her crib. I'll occasionally have to play pacifier fairy because she can't figure out how to get it back in her mouth, and can't roll back to front so she can't always reach it. But generally, she goes to sleep on her own once the pacifier is back in.</p> <p>however yesterday afternoon she absolutely refused to nap. she was exhausted but refused so I gave up and let DH hang with her while i ran to the store..by bed time she'd been up for 4.5 hours! That's nuts for her. but, she went to sleep easily and slept pretty well.</p> <p>now today..her morning nap went okay, and she just fell asleep for nap #2 - but for both she started crying the minute I walked into her room! when I put her down in her crib she became inconsolable. eventually I ended up giving her teething tablets, a little orajel because she was still screaming bloody murder, and then rocking her, which is weird because she has not let me rock her in weeks. she slowly calmed down and fell asleep.</p> <p>isn't it too early for separation anxiety?! we were making progress! </p>
