Quick Question

Hi everyone. I just one one little
question... My 3 month & 1 week old
daughter has been .V.E.R.Y fussy the last
2 days. I'm pretty sure she's teething
but now .I'm afraid she's getting sick
too. The last 2 days her poop has been a
nasty looking dark greenish color, not
diareah (sp?) but kinda runny if that
makes any sense at all... Then a little
while ago she burped and spit up a
yellowish gunk... What is goin on??
She's scarin me..
.Michelle
edited to fix the typos I just noticed lol

Ohh god... This has been awful, nothing I
do helps her or makes her feel better ...
I gave her a little tylenol lastnight
& that seemed to help for a while. I
have orajel but how exactly do I use it?

Oh ok... I'm a little afraid to try it
because my mom told me she might gag when
I do it. Thanks so much for the replies
...
Is there any other tips or little tricks
to help babies during their teething??
I've never ever been around a baby while
they were teething so I have no idea what
to expect or anything...

Sometimes they do gag but wouldn't you if
you had someones finger in your mouth.
Urrm not that I can think of because my
baby is yet to be born so i'm only going
off when I lived with my sister, he
partner and their kids and it was a while
ago when they began teething so I guess
just comfort them as much as you can and
if they are uncomfortable use meds and gel
to ease the pain

Do not give your 3 week old orajel. If
you read the directions..They have to be 4
months or older....
Call her dr to make sure this is really
what's going on. Oni got her 1st teeth at
5 months and didn't throw up and yellow
stuff.

I agree with .Sarah. If she's vomiting
yellow gunk and her bowel movements are
off, that's a sign that you should call
her pediatrician and get her checked out.
And don't put that stuff in her mouth. If
she wants to chew on something, give her a
teether from the freezer. Check her
temperature and maybe give her some infant
tylenol.

I would take her to the doctor. It
doesn't sound like teething to me. Have
you seen any obvious signs that she's
teething?

Danzibelle...What did you read this "info"
from a pamphlet?!?!?!
Please hun, do *not* give advice based on
past visits with your neice and nephew.
It's not right for you to tell someone to
give their baby (3 months at that) orajel
if you don't have a baby and know nothing
about teething.
I'm sorry if this offended you, but I do
*not* want octoberbaby to give her sick
baby orajel because 15 year old said it
was ok....

I agree with .Sarah, again. I understand
that you know a few things about little
babies from your sister's child, but
unless you have intimate knowledge of how to
care for infants, you should really
refrain from giving advice about child
care. Especially concerning giving
medications that could be harmful to
someone's child.

i didn't know that oragel was to be used
from 4 months because the gel my sister
had was from 3 months. Ok don't take it
out on me because it's not my baby i'm
talking about and because I am 15

My dad used vodka or rum on me and my
brothers gums when we were teething but I
would not use it.
