L.O.
I am a SAHM to 2 beautiful boys, an 8yr old and a 3 month old. I also operate a daycare out of my home and I'm currently watching a 5 month old who is going through teething. She also wakes up crying and Motrin is the only thing that helps her. When she eats she acts as though the bottle hurts her bottom gums where her teeth are trying to come in and her mother and I have tried baby oragel before feeding her and it seems to help. As far as waking in the night, that's normal for a 3 month old, mine does the same thing. Some days he will go 5hrs and some days 8hrs but he usually will get up at least once in the night to feed. I know that it can be exhausting, but it will get better as your little girl gets older. In regards to trying Dairy for your baby when she turns 6 months, I would very much recommend asking the doctor if that's okay. I also watch a 9 month old and her mother took her off formula and put her on whole milk with out asking the doctor. The next time she went to the doctor for a check up the doctor urged her to get the little girl back on formula and said that milk does not have all the vitamins that a baby under the age of one needs. Hope this helped a little, Good Luck.
