My wonderful son has been replaced with this ornery temper tantrum throwing, hitting, yelling and screaming alien! I don't know what to do! I thought it could be teething but I gave him his teething tablets and they're not doing anything! I'm so at the end of my rope! He has always been a really good eater (I mean really good) now he won't eat anything! He gets grumpy when he's hungry but he won't eat anything other than cheerios and fruit! The fruit is great but we usually follow a gluten free diet. The only reason I'm allowing him to have the cheerios is so he doesn't get horrible diarrhia. I wonder if he might have a uti because his urethra looks red and his diapers smell really ammoniay. I gave him a big sippy cup of cranberry juice but so far it hasn't done much (to be fair I only gave him that about and hour ago) I think I should call the doctor but it's Saturday night and it's not an emergency, but I'm just at the end of my rope! My husband is sick so he isn't able to help much right now! trying to stay happy bec/ me being upset only makes his mood worse but o my gosh! We've been having a really hard time lately too, we have lost our house and moved in with my parents, we've both been having health issues, ds was in the hospital for 4 days in the burn unit from chemical burns on his butt and privates from bg deoderizer spray that my sister in law didn't understand went on after he wore the diaper not before. I'm not really sure how much more I can take!!!
I know it's hard, but your LO has been going through a lot lately too, and it's likely that he's acting out in response to the confusion in his life. Lots of love and cuddles where you can, and space to allow him to be angry when you can't. Hang in there! (It's a good thing they are cute at this age, huh?)
