Lo has been sleeping all day, has very short happy periods and his under the arm temp is 98.9 I've been trying to get him to sleep when I start to see his signs but no matter what he seems to scream himself to sleep. He's been eating fairly normally except shorter and more frequent. Should I put in a call to the dr or does this sound normal? I'm worried about the screaming to sleep. I just can't put lo down drowsy.
Re: Should I call pedi?
The eating more frequent sounds like growth spurt, maybe try shorter period in between your feedings for a day or so. My LO went through this, he would usually go 3 closer to 4 hours between feedings, but the last few days its been 2 hours sometimes and then if it's longer he was drinking more.
I wouldn't worry about the temp. Our doc said 100.4 or higher to call - that's for under the armpit.
I do not think that is incorrect information. You should check with your pediatrician.
