Once we returned from vacation Nathan just wasn’t his self. He was still a very happy baby, but a little terd at times and couldn’t sleep well at night. I kept thinking it was teething, but Saturday I just knew it was something else. Friday night was horrible. He would not go down easy. He would actually fall asleep with me holding him, but when I laid him down he would wake up shortly afterwards crying. This happened 3-4 times. Then I finally gave him tylenol. Saturday he was fine during the day just fussy so I thought he was tired from not sleeping well. That night it was the same thing. So I looked up symptoms of ear infection and he had 5 of the 7: cold symptoms, crying and irritability, trouble sleeping/lying flat, tugging at ear and loss of appetite. He did not have a fever or ear drainage.
Sunday morning I took him to an Urgent Kids Care Clinic and sure enough he had the start of an ear infection. The doctor said we caught it pretty early…..early? I don’t want to know what a full on ear infection is then. So he is on an antibiotic for 10 days and getting lots of extra loving
