My little sweet pea is just recovering from a three day fever.  Its her second fever in 3 weeks!  Poor baby!  At first we thought she was just doing her normal teething but the fever spiked up to 103.7.   I kept her home from daycare for a few days to be sure I kept a close eye on her, being that the last time she had a fever at daycare she ended up in the ER!  This is starting to worry me a little bit that the fevers are so high and becoming more frequent.  She had no other symptoms.  I know being in daycare she is exposed to germs and other sicklings but I didnt know it would be this bad!  Dont get me wrong, daycare has a lot of positive things as well, Hailey is very social and doesn’t just cling to “mommy”.  I am anxious to see when Abby is born in August and Hailey is at home, if she will still have these fevers.

Hailey has another tooth coming in.  She has five already, this is the sixth and she keeps getting really cranky every time we get another tooth coming in.  We’ve been using teething tablets instead of baby oragel to try to make it easy for her but I’m not sure which one works better.  Any body with kids have more experience in this department?  On top of the tooth medications, we give her a cold teething ring, any other suggestions on how we can keep our daughter from suffering through teething?

She seems to be having trouble sleeping even with either the tablets or oragel.  She normally is out for the night when you put her to bed in the evening, but lately when teething she wakes up crying.  She isn’t napping as much during the day either, today at daycare she didn’t nap at all.  Help!!
