6 weeks school holiday dad - day seven

By Value hunter on Jul 30, 2010 | In In real life, Baby, Dear diary

I know, I know, what happened to days 3 to 6?

You tell me!
Everything's upside down here for one reason.... teeth!

Sprog2 has had no bother at all with her front gnashers, they through no problems with a bit of calpol and some gurning, we have been really lucky.
Her back gnashers are starting to come through, her sleeping routine normally changes every two weeks, it's been all over the place. Up at 2am, sleeping in until 10am, then back to midnight playing and being wide awake. My body clock is not adapting as fast as her routine changes!

I'll probably get slated for this, but I have upped the number of advanced feed bottles I have been giving her. She is chewing everything in sight, but struggling to eat solids, so I've gone back on to the smoother jars of baby food and given her an extra couple of bottles.
Calpol of course, eases the pain and this cools her down, but I have not seen much in the way of slavering.
She appears to be happy enough with it, until she wakes in the night and the nappies have gone back to rocket fuel, but I can handle that if it means she maintains her weight and she continues to eat regularly.
I am not a fan of rubbing medicines on her gums, or giving her various drugs to sort things out unless it is essential to her health, I don't trust what is in them.

If I bump into you around the markets or in town and I am not the happiest of campers it is because I'm having to grab an hour in the afternoon and then nothing until 2am.
