Cranky cranky baby...

LO is just about 5.5 months old and has been a total crank pot for 3 days now. She is usually a happy laughing baby and these past few days have been terrible she will hardly smile and just seems so cranky.... I'm hoping nothing is wrong and I don't have a gut feeling there is but I guess if she's not herself by Friday ill have her seen. She is just getting over a little bug with a cough and fever she had last weekend. Just wondering if anyone has delt with the 6 month growth spurt and how there LO reacted to it. Thanks!

    It could be teeth. Try some tylonel and see if that helps. My daughter has two teeth already and she's five months old

    I'm thinking its teeth and just being tired from not sleeping well... Since she had the fever last weekend and we were giving her Tylenol every 4 hours I was just trying to not give it too much this week but I guess if teething is what it is and it's going to help why not right??? We do teething tablets too though :)

    We've had a few days like this too. DD has been super cranky and had a very hard time falling asleep each night. She also has been waking up in the MOTN which she hadn't done for a while. Of course she started this the week that DH is out of town for work.

    E has been going through something the last week.  He's been crankier, fussier, and worst of all - not sleeping as well!  He actually woke up every half hour or so Saturday night.  Thank God it was the weekend.

    I keep checking for teeth but nothing, even though he drools like crazy and tries to chew on everything possible.  I figure it's just one of those "wonder week/growth spurt/whatever" things.  He'll be 6 months on Monday.

    My little one has been cranky the last couple of days. He had his 6 month appt today and he has an ear infection. Hope your LO is in a better mood tonight.

    Colds can cause ear infections. This has happened to DD several times now, she'll get a little cold, start getting better, and then BAM: double ear infection. I agree with PP that it's probably just teething but if LO isn't better soon, I'd go in to get things checked out just in case
