For the past few days, Owen has been out of sorts. Not horribly so, but definitely not his normal self.
One day he will eat like a horse (I think he did like 42oz one day) and the next you can’t get him to eat to save your life (he maybe did 24oz another day).
And then there were the two completely different poops within hours of each other (not eating anything different). No one I’ve mentioned it to has any ideas, other than to say “Does he feel okay?” I will be asking the pediatrician tomorrow for sure.
And don’t get me started on naps. Usually he’s good for a 2-3 hour nap in the morning, with various naps throughout the day—you put him down, give him his pacifier, turn on the mobile (and rewind it a few times)…and he’s out. Not this week. Yesterday he finally napped in his swing—from 3:30-7! 88| Today he won’t take a nap to save my soul. He’s catnapped a few times but that’s it. And he’s being a fussy eater today, too.
/excuse me while I go wind the mobile again
We think he might be teething, although he is a little young for that. (The typical age is about six months, although it can happen anywhere from three months to a year.) But he’s drooling and “chewing” on his burp cloths like crazy—which seems like a big sign. But we don’t feel or see any teeth yet.
He does sound a tad congested…but then again, he’s sounded that way off and on ever since we brought him home.
And he seems to be WAY gassier than normal.
All that said, he is still pretty happy overall. Still sleeping pretty well at night (from 5-7 hours). No screaming or crying or anything of that magnitude during the day. Just a general out-of-sorts-ness.
But what do I know? :>>
