I'm not sure of the best place to post this...

Something is going on my 18 mo old LO. She is just having a really hard time all around. I am so sleep deprived, stressed, and exasperated.

For the past 2 weeks, she has been waking up multiple times a night and screaming. Last night I got about 3 hrs of sleep, 2 hours the night before, 3 the night before that. I am barely able to function at work.

I've tried everything... rocking her, patting her back, bottles, CIO, co-sleeping... nothing is working. Last night she literally cried for more than 2 hours straight after I'd tried everything else. That is not really like her. She didn't even want me to rock her. I tried Tylenol, ear drops, etc.

She definitely has 4 teeth coming in (canines), so that might be it. It's also possible she is going through a growth spurt.

During the day, she is cranky and out of control. She is suddenly really picky about eating and is throwing food at every opportunity. Tantruming left and right. Yesterday at daycare, she bit 2 children (she had done that once before, and others have bitten her). When she came home, she was like a little piranna trying to bite me. I kept telling her no, putting her in a quick time out, redirecting her, etc. I do think it may be her teeth as she did spend awhile biting on a frozen teether when I told her to bite that instead.

I am SO exhausted. Do you think it would be worth taking her to the pediatrican to see if they can find anything wrong with her? I thought maybe she could have an ear infection because she's had a cold (though she doesn't have a fever) and we also go swimming a lot (so maybe an outer ear infection). Any other ideas??

I have a trip planned to TX in 2 weeks to be present for the birth of my sister's baby. I was hoping to be able to help with cooking and caring for my nephew so she could focus on the baby (her husband has to work), but I'm worried that if this continues I am going to need to cancel. I was really looking forward to seeing my family, but I feel like with the way she is right now she'd just cause my sister's family stress
