Ella has had some bad nights this last week.... 5 to be exact! We've been up every night for the past 5 days with her screaming. 2-4 hours of sleep a night; and when you are used to waking up once or not at all at night anymore, it’s a big change and like back to having a newborn! We will get her out of her crib, rock her back to sleep (if we are lucky) and as soon as we put her back down she is screaming again. We’ve all fallen asleep on the couch and in the rocking chair. Her teeth are moving around on the top and bottom and I can feel a tooth on the top. Poor baby :( It’s causing her bad gas and nasal congestion. After reading a lot online about ways to help her… there are not any (besides baby orajel & Tylenol or Motrin) and she has all of the symptoms… even the rare ones of teething (like gas).
Unfortunately, she also got a yeast rash late last week from the antibiotics (from her ear infection). It’s totally common. What happens is the antibiotics kill all of the bacteria, even the good ones and it causes a fungus to grow. (AKA Yeast Infection) We are using an over the counter cream twice a day for 7 days. Hopefully these teeth will pop out and we’ll get some sleep soon?! Ha! :) Until then…. We are a very tired and caffeinated Mommy and Daddy. Good thing she is so cute!! Haha :) It’s impossible to be mad!
