Tantrums and tears again this morning. Jazz worked herself up to such a histerical state that she made herself sick again just as we were leaving the house. Thankfully we were near tiles and she gave enough warning for me to move closer to the tiles and for me to hold her an arms length away from me so I didn't wear any (considering I was dressed for work).
I think it's just teething which is making her sooky and wanting lots of attention, then she wacks on a turn and gets histerical if we don't give her undevided attention.
I really don't want to take a day off this week because my boss is away, but I might have to take Friday off or at least leave early if this continues. I'll take her to the doctor just to make sure it isn't anything more than teething. She's still eating fine so I am certain she doesn't have gastro, plus her poo is normal.
Her cheeks are red and she is constantly chewing on her fingers or whatever else she can put in her mouth, but she wont let us touch her gums and will clamp her mouth shut when we try...another reason I think it's teething again. I can't get anywhere near her with teething gel and this morning I had to literally hold her down while I forced some nurofen down her throat. I don't want to have to do that, but I know that she's in pain and needs it.
I'm also thinking that I'll book her in for a flu shot because I saw on the news that there's a really dangerous one expected in winter and they are strongly recommending children aged 6months to 9 years old get vaccinated. I might see about the shot myself. I wonder if Jazz will take the needle more easily if she sees me getting one too? Probably wont make a difference to a one year old.
I hope this stage doesn't last much longer. I want my happy girl back.
Sorry Danni, I think it sounds like she is teething. I have to hold Jesse down to give him panadol/nurofen as well. Or once I got him a really small bottle of milk & put it in there.
I hope she's better soon.
Yep, I think it was teething. Last night she flaked it on Matt's lap at 7:15pm...didn't even have a bath (that's normally at 7:30)... I don't really like it when she flakes like that because she gets a nappy change at daycare at 5pm and then I don't change her again until I get her ready for her bath, so when she woke at what ever time it was in the middle of the night (I can't remember), I changed her then while she was having her bottle.
This morning she was almost back to her normal happy self. Still a bit clingy, but no tantrums and no vomit!
And, for the brief second that she let me put my finger in her mouth, I think I felt another tooth so I guess that is what all the drama was from...that's the worst she's ever been with teething.
I got some Brauers teething and Brauers calm stuff last night so I'll try that tonight (the calm at the very least). Though I'm meant to be going out tonight so Matt will have to deal with her.
My girls always had a harder time the more teeth they got.
Jaz got her 2 year old molars at 13 months & had the worst nappy rash I've ever seen.
Oh, I've been instructed by Madam Jaz that she would like her nickname to be Jazz, not Jaz. So don't go gettin confused between me & Danni, lol!
Well we've been using terry cloth nappies for a week tomorrow. Got my first MCN from Arimeh yesterday, there's a pic in my gallery & on FB. Its so cute! Love it!!
Should have more arriving today or tomorrow....exciting!!!
No more teeth here yet...still stuck on 6. Way behind the girls! I think Bri had her 2yo molars at 11 months, so he's heaps slower!
Little boof head is getting very destructive! He was bashing Elmo with a book earlier, then went at the scales with his little cricket bat! Oh, & he's started play kicking! Its funny. He can't actually lift his leg, so he makes a grunting sound & just kinda steps forwards!
way to go skye, fluffy mail is sooo exciting isnt it!
Mj has started to voice her frustration and act out, it must be so hard for them at this age, wanting to do and say, but limited as they havent got the skills yet. She has started lashing out and aching her back - sort of throwng herself to the floor. I try not to respond to it, but feel so sad for her, she just is having a hard time atm... poor thing, i think that she may also have some more teeth on the move, she still only has 2 bottom teeth and 4 up top, so maybe some more soon.
I have started swimming again YAY!!!
DH came home at 7.30pm on Tuesday and so i went off to the poo (MJ had just going to bed) and tonight she is with Nanna and Tic Toc, so i have mowed the lawns and am off again to the pool.
Its harder in the evenings, but its just great to swim again, i managed 1km on Tues, but had to stop as i got a sore knee, have strapped it now, so hopefully its OK.
