Today, I gave up. I tried everything, and nothing worked.
My baby was beyond tired and miserable, and I really have no good idea why. It started last evening, and he didn't sleep well last night, so I guess I'm not really surprised... but that never makes it any easier!!
I tried everything! I nursed him... 3 times. I fed him... twice. I changed his diaper... 3 times. I held him and rocked him and sang to him, innumerable times! I let him play. I let him cry (a little)! I changed his clothes. I gave him water. And ibuprofen. And more cuddles.
Nothing worked!!
So, I gave up. And now I am sitting in the big comfy chair, holding him, letting him nurse, and settling in for a long winter's nap.
Oh well. I guess the laundry will still be here tomorrow!
