Well, this isn’t a very fun milestone, but Ethan has his first ear infection. He has been snotty and coughing for several weeks but seemed ok otherwise. Thursday I got a call from daycare that he had a fever. We went to the doctor and he got antibiotics and seems to be getting better. He was quite pitiful on Friday and Saturday and pretty much slept all day, which is very unlike him! He has been tugging on his ear the past few days so it must still be bothering him.
In other news, despite his ear infection, he has been sleeping much better at night. We decided to try sleep training again and he is doing much better! He has slept through the entire night several times (about 11 hours) but also wakes up to eat once sometimes. It is hard to know why he is waking up since he probably doesn’t feel well. But it is still nice to not spend the entire evening trying to get him to go to sleep. He still isn’t napping very long (about 30 mins), but I’m hoping that will improve over time!
Here are some pictures of our poor little sick boy. The poor kid didn’t care where he was sleeping.
Poor thing! I hope he is feeling better. I absolutely love the last picture with the blanket over most of his face.
