I think Bumblebee is either sick, or having some sort of reaction to the pears I fed him yesterday afternoon. He doesn’t have a fever or anything like that, but he’s been awful whiney since las night, he hasn’t been eating nearly as much as normal, and this morning he had poop that was almost completely pure liquid and yellow. He hasn’t had a poop so runny and yellow since he decided to stop nursing at about 2 1/2 months old.
He seems a lot better now, but I’m still pretty worried about him. At least it’s Friday and my husband will be home over the weekend. He thinks Bumblebee’s just teething. I’m not sure about it. Since my husband works with orthodontists and has taken a very basic dental course courtesy of the company he works for, I guess he’s more of an expert when it comes to teeth. So I told him to feel in the baby’s mouth for teeth, because I can’t tell what night be a tooth coming up and what are normal bumps.
I guess he doesn’t actually know more about teething than I do because he said he felt sharper bumps in the back, on the top of the gums. I informed him that babies usually sprout the bottom front teeth first, and very occasionally the top front teeth. He still thinks Bumblebee’s just teething.
Why does my baby who has been acting sick all day always suddenly and mysteriously get all better as soon as his Pops gets home? This is the second time it’s happened! I’m glad he’s not sick but it makes me look like a paranoid worry wart mom.
