Tevye is teething. Yesterday I felt his third tooth breaking through the gumline. Along with being a few days shy of 7 months old, his sleeping has not been the most solid.
This isn’t the first time I have tried to give him infant pain reliever. He hates it. It doesn’t seem to matter much how tricky we are with giving it to him, he spits it out. I’m not sure if it is the flavor or the consistency, but giving him anything in a dropper or a syringe just doesn’t work.
This morning I decided to give it to him in a bottle. Not his full, regular bottle, but one that had a couple of ounces of water and just enough formula to make it palatable.
At first he scrunched up his face but he sucked down that bottle. He didn’t have a good night’s sleep last night, and this morning he slept about 30 or 40 minutes before waking up. This afternoon? He’s been asleep for about an hour.
Here’s hoping it keeps up.
