So today Brayden has been extremely fussy,
actually he doesn't just fuss, he screams
at the top of his lungs. I can't figure
out whats wrong. He's generally a very
good baby so he's acting totally out of
character. I checked his temp and its
fine, I don't think he's hungry and his
diaper is clean. I know you guys have
said things about dairy and stuff making
babies fussy but I don't get alot of dairy
and therefore I began to access other
things and I thought maybe its from
caffine? Since my pregnancy I've been
addicted to dr pepper and I have one every
day or every other day. I was wondering
how much caffine is transferred in breat
milk? Is it enough to really affect him?
Should I cut it out? I haven't had any
today, could it be a caffine withdrawl or
something?
This may be totally out there, I don't
know. I'm just searching for answers, I
need a little peace. If anyone has any
ideas or any ways to sooth him let me
know!!! thanks

It sounds to me like he probably has an
ear infection. Babies don't always get a
fever if they have an ear infection. I
would call his doctor and make an
appointment..

hmm... I agree with .Sam.. but it could
also be something else, like gas. Try
giving him mylicon. see if that helps.

I thought about an ear infection but I
thought he'd be messing with his ears if
that was it. But I'll definately look
into that. The doctor is closed tomorrow
but we already have an appt for next week
so I'll ask then! Thanks guy, since this
is my first little guy I was worried
because I can't tell whats wrong and i
don't know what to expect.

how about gas.. i know that don gets fussy
and fustrated if he cant poop or get a
burp or gas out.. sometimes rubbing him
for a while and patting him works.. but i
agree with the about about ear
infections.. i know with children i
watched they hurt but that was really the
only symptom that stood out
