B won't sleep. Put her down at 8, like normal. She had a slight fever so she got Tylenol. I was in bed and asleep by 10. At 12:30 she woke up. So I got up, gave her more Tylenol, nursed her, and laid her back down. She grunts and talks to herself for an hour. Then she starts screaming. So 2 I get up and discover she had a stinky diaper. Change her. Let her play for awhile. When she looks tired again, nurse her, lay her back down. This was 2:40. It's now after 3 and she is screaming her head off again. I just want to go to sleep. I'm worried if I go in there to get her again, I'm going to yell at her, which would be oh so productive. But I want to throw things because I'm so flipping tired. H needs to be functional tomorrow so he is trying to sleep and he only has another 2 hours to do it before his alarm goes off, so I get no help from that quarter.

I want to throw things.

that really sucks. been there! how high was the fever? when m had a fever and it came down, he was hyper. also, advil works better for us for fevers in general, maybe you can try that? and try to just have quiet time in the dark next time she wakes up (incl. nursing). if you gave her tylenol at 8 you can give her a dose of advil now.

It wasn't a high fever, 100.5 (in her ear)
