Holy hell guys.

My son has woken up every half hour since I put him down. Screaming his head off. Requiring intense soothing. He is not feverish or coughing or in any capacity ill, that I can tell. I've investigated him thoroughly. There doesn't appear to be anything identifiable.

My husband is sleeping in the guestroom with earplugs due to his man cold. I have no backup. I'm going to be awake all.fucking.night.

[blueshirt2003]

Maybe he has a sore throat, cold also?
I'm sorry

[cbwm1]

I'm calling it - he also has an ear infection.

(Will never got fevers with his. I just knew when he screamed his head off.)

[dowagercountess]

Could he have an incoming ear infection?

I looked in his ears with a flashlight! If this is the case I will die. And take him to the doctor at like six in the morning.

Eta: are they even contagious? He doesn't have a cold.

Oh no. Sounds like an ear infection to me. I'm so sorry. You've been having such terrible luck with everyone being sick!

[jenna]

Teething? Strep? Ear infection?

[shell24]

I third (fourth, fifth??) ear infection guess.

Good luck tonight-hopefully you get some relief soon !

[stellas]

I'd give him some Tylenol and see what happens

Not contagious.

Ear infections are a bitch. They can show up whenever the fuck they want.

Yes, this is a good idea. Or baby Advil.

Drugs are your friend.

[SKP82]

Teething? I would give him Advil or Tylenol to see if it helps.

[Deleted]

Ditto Tylenol. Is he constipated at all?

[Deleted]

Tylenol stat! That might buy you 3 hours. I am so sorry.

[cville]

If he wakes again (ha ha ha. I'm an optimist. I know it's when) I'll sock him some ibuprofen.

Did I mention that when I went to tuck in L tonight we had to talk about guns, if they kill people, are there bad guys in our city, do they have guns, and how do we keep the bad guys out of our house? Oh, and if I drank coffee when I was pregnant with her could she taste it and, if so, why would I keep drinking it because I know she hates coffee.

It's been a long, weird day.

Nope.

And I most definitely have to work tomorrow.

[nicanmatt]

Ugh, I was up with DD last night while she cried. She's very congested though, so I could tell she was just struggling to breathe. Maybe try elevating his mattress on one side? Do you have a humidifier in his room?

Best of luck to you. She's asleep now here, but I'm waiting... I know as soon as I sit down to pump she'll scream.

[underwaterrhymes]

definitely some baby advil.

I hope he feels better soon.

[Nicole]

How old is he? Forgive me for asking since I have been absent. I agree with baby Tylenol or the like. My mom did Chamomile tea mixed with water in a bottle slightly warm to help tummy aches too when I was little. And a camp out on his bedroom floor. I hope you both get some rest!

[cville]

He's 14 months. So far, no waking since 10:30. Fingers crossed!

[Deleted]

I also vote teething. Molars or eye teeth. Advil, and get ready to sleep in a recliner.

[liverandonions]

Poor guy! Hope he stays asleep the rest of the night! Also, your daughter's coffee question is cracking me up!

[iamgrace]

Time to break out the tylenol.

[bania]

poor guy and poor you. I hope you are getting some sleep right now.
