I am playing the very un-fun game of “What the hell is up with my child?” The past two nights have been very restless, with frequent waking and squirming on her part, while I sleepily try to calm her and get her back to sleep. She’s even been tough to get down, which is pretty much unheard of – it normally takes only laying down with her to nurse and she’s fast asleep. So this crying, having to walk and rock her, it’s just so weird<\/em>. I last here cuddling her against me and as she’s drifting off there will be 30 seconds of stillness and then she kicks out her legs, curls her toes like little claws, and\u00a0 scratches down my lower belly. Kicking I could handle better, this using my pelvis as a springboard thing is highly irritating.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She’s been very fussy at the breast. She’ll eat normally, then act like she wants more and start popping on and off, whining and fussing. As if that weren’t annoying enough, she then spits up a bunch of milk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then today she just started melting down. She’s normally pretty good for diaper changes, baling and looking around, maybe a little frustrated crying, but today it was screaming as soon as I laid her down on the changing pad. This evening she shrieked so high-pitched Den came running to see what happened.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She’s had a ton of gas, which I can only assume is due to the on\/off nursing, and may partially explain why she’s crying when laid down (but the crying isn’t consistent every<\/em> time I lay her down, which is confusing).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And now she’s all snotty and stuffed up, presumably from the crying. This doesn’t help the sleeping or eating matters in the least.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She’s still smiling and having fun times, but it snaps from a good time to really upset faster than usual (which is saying a lot, she’s always changing emotion at the drop of a hat). And it’s not her usual personality-driven temper fit kind of crying. Something is bothering her; I just don’t know what.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friends have suggested it’s the right time for a growth spurt. Or she may be ferrying a little cold. Either way I really hope this passes quickly. Especially the sleep part.<\/p>\n

Update: <\/em>Well, mystery solved, in a way. This morning she is extremely stuffed up, she definitely has a little cold. :( My poor baby. And oh does she hate the suction bulb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
