I have a feeling Nathan is teething. He's been so fussy the past two days, nonstop crying but it's a fussy cry. He's eating normally, going to the bathroom normally, and sleeping fine at night. When I try to comfort him he's happy for a few minutes then starts crying/fussing again. He's also drooling CONSTANTLY and always shoving his hands or whatever is in them in his mouth and he's very congested. It's getting pretty frustrating for me because I know there's nothing I can do for him (other than comfort him, rub his gums, give him a chilled teething ring, etc.) not to mention all the crying. He's especially grumpy because he hasn't been able to take very long naps during the day so he's tired.
I hope those darn teeth pop out soon! If anyone has any advice, please let me know! It's been a long time since I've had to deal with a teething baby.
Wanted to add that I've been giving him tylenol (ibuprofen doesn't seem to help with the pain, the tylenol seems to help a little) and letting him suck on a cold wet cloth.
When you figure it out, let me know. V has been teething for 2 months now. He also gets very fussy.
