I woke up at 6am this morning to a crying toddler. This same toddler didn’t go to bed last night until after 11pm and he didn’t even take a nap yesterday. He’s teething and he has stomach problems.

The teething just started up again but the stomach problems have been ongoing since around 12 months. Um, right around the time breastfeeding stopped and real food began. The teething I know how to deal with but the constant puking I do not.

My toddler has been to 2 different pediatricians and each of them say something different. We’ve tried what we were told to do but it doesn’t seem to work consistently. We do know that some foods are off limits and we do know that he can only eat small amounts at a time but we don’t know what is causing it.

In May, he was scheduled for an Upper GI test but since it seemed like he was getting better I canceled it to save him from the trauma of the test. Now he is actually going to have to go through with the test. Atleast I think that is the name of the test. All I know is that he can’t eat the night before and he has to drink stuff and be held down so , in my opinion, that is traumatizing enough!

Anyway, right now I smell like puke and I wish I could go back to sleep for atleast an hour but that’s just not possible. I guess I’ll drink a few cups of coffee and be ready for the rest of the day.
