Teething and Not Eating

I may be over reacting but she is my baby... we are in full out teething mode.. at 20weeks! It is definately teething so please don't tell me she is too young. It appears to be focused on the lower left side. Anyway, she has not eaten since around 5am this morning (it is almost 3pm now). She is hungry, she attacks the bottle when I offer it but after a couple sucks, she pulls away crying and puts her hand to her mouth. I have tried cold teethers, not cold teethers, hylands tablets, a homeopathic gel, a frozen washcloth (she usually...

Burning Her Bottom!!!

My one year old has had really bad diapers lately. It seems like once or twice a day she explodes a diaper, which I change immediately, but where ever the bm touches on her little bottom she has horrible blisters. She has the worst case of diaper rash and I can't figure out what is causing these nasty diapers. She has been really, really cranky and not sleeping that well either (not that she ever slept that great to begin with). I just switched her to milk but have to wonder if that is the problem because I love dairy products and that didn...

Diaper Rash Due to Teething

My poor little Kacie (7 1/2 mos. old) has got a terrible diaper rash. I suspect from teething. Her first tooth broke through at the beginning of the month and I'm sure there is more to follow. Now she has the diarhea that goes along with it as well as the sore bottom. I am currently using Butt Paste but would appreciate any other suggestions. I know that air is the best. But not very practical especially since she has diarhea. My mother-in-law swears by cornstarch so I am going to pick some up today.

Experience W/ Colic Calm Gripe Water ? Prevacid/Zantac Not Working

My baby is 5 weeks old and was diagnosed a week ago with reflux (GER) which she's had probably since she was about 3-3.5 weeks old. She cries nonstop all day basically. She's on prevacid in the morning maalox max throughout the day (as needed) which provides very temporary relief (few minutes) and Zantac at night. It's been just over 5 days now and we're still not seeing much improvement. My ped GI said give it 2 weeks but that just seems ridiculous - you'd think by now I'd see a little improvement! I heard about Colic Calm gripe water....

Frequent/almost Constant Burping

My son has been burping frequently on and off for about 2 weeks now. It will get better for a little while, and then pop up again. He will start burping almost constantly for a few hours, and then infrequently for awhile. He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort and has no either digestive issues. I've tried Gas-X, Maalox, Pepto-Bismol and TUMS, but nothing seems to work. His doctor couldn't figure it out either. I have also been giving him yogurt and cranberry juice (which is what I use if I have digestive issues), but tht hasn't helped yet...

Seeking Info on Herpes Inside the Mouth

Has anyone heard of Herpes inside the mouth? My son has nasty looking sores in his mouth. His gums are so swollen that his teeth are barely visible. His gums are bleeding and he is miserable. The Dr. said he has a form of herpes in his mouth and all that can be done is put Oragel on his mouth. My son is only 1 and a half and is in extreme pain. If any one can offer advice or suggestions on how to get rid of this I sure would appreciate it. Thank you

3 Month Old Teething??

My baby will be 3 months old next Friday. This week he has been kinda drooling and slobbering and a little more fussy than usual. I "think" I feel something coming in his gums but Im not really sure. But what I am worried about is that today he has pooped about five times and his butt is really burned and hes not happy about it! He usually only poops once a day or every other day. So this is ALOT for him. He is eating OK, a little less than usual. He doesnt have a fever. I guess Im wondering could he be teething? I did hear a rumor...
