With the new baby in the house, we’ve seen some regressions in behavior from Jaxton… He’s asking for bottles again (Gabe gets them periodically to supplement nursing until he puts on some more weight), he seems to want to nurse more often and gets a bit jealous when Gabe is nursing, and he’s been throwing more fits & temper tantrums. I’m sure these things are temporary, but we weren’t expecting/ready for them.
In addition, Jaxton has developed a sudden fever (which could be a cause for some of those ‘new’ behaviors), he was reading about 100 degrees Fahrenheit but doesn’t have any other symptoms of being sick (like runny nose, sneezing, coughing, etc). It turns out that teething tablets & Tylenol helped him, so it must be teething again. That was the combo of medicines that helped him initially – his canines have broken through barely, but are coming in more fully now.
It’s somewhat ironic that we bring home a baby from the hospital and in the first week, our toddler kept us up more at night than the newborn. There were two nights where he was up for hours at a time whining and crying, not much we can do other than hope he gets through it quickly.
