Lexie has been screaming constantly the past few days! She's on an antibiotic for her ear infection(s) and doesn't seem to be having any sort of reaction to it, so I can only assume it's doing its' job. So my next guess is her teeth. Her top two teeth seem to be coming down, so I'm thinking that what's causing this massive three-day-long fit. She is cranky and waking during the night, she won't drink her milk unless it's perfectly warmed....just the slightest bit cool and she throws the bottle, arches her back and screams. If you warm it for just 10 or 15 more seconds, she will drink it without complaint. She's very restless all night long, and has absolutely no patience. If I do something like, wipe her face (God forbid) she flips out in an all-out rage. She wants to be held constantly...I can't shower or eat a meal unless Wally is here or I just let her scream.....she hasn't been napping very well, and I end up spending naptime cleaning the kitchen, folding laundry, watering our plants and sweeping....no time for silly things like meals or showers!
Last night I tried Hyland's teething tablets, a homeopathic medicine (and I remembered that Navasha used them with Meredith, the only personal recommendation I could recall) I dissolved two in 1 tsp water and gave it to her with a medicine dropper. To Hyland's credit, she did sleep much better last night, so considering she's been screaming off and on this morning, she may get more in a few minutes. Right now she is only quiet because Julia is reading her a story.
After Wally had been home five minutes last night, he looked at me, and said "oh honey, I'm sorry." It's been a rough few days. I want my happy Lexie back.

Good luck! I used the same stuff on Liam and it worked like a charm. Also, the teething thing is supposed to be over in about 3 days, so maybe this is your last day? Hope it gets better, fast.
