Back story: DS has been colicky/high needs since birth... he also had a major spitting up problem (spit up TONS every BF'ing) and always wanted to BF every half hour or so. We decided not to medicate him because he was gaining weight well etc. The problem seemed to go away on it's own around 6-7 months, and has only had the occasional dribble or threw up more once or twice when he got overly upset in the car.
Now, 6 months later I am sitting in a pool of spit-up (he's sleeping on my lap so I can't clean up yet, YUCK!)
It started 4 days ago with extremely frequent (every 10-30 minutes) waking at night... He has a tooth cutting through and seems to have a lot of excess saliva. He has been coughing/gagging during naps and at night (I always have to turn him to the side to make sure he doesn't choke) but didn't bring up a whole lot until now. I'm drenched. I feel so bad for the poor kid!
Could it be teething related? (This will be his first 2 teeth)... He seems normal when he's awake (he's always been volatile & cranky)... I don't know too if it could be related to/exacerbated by my oversupply which seems to be returning because of this. I haven't changed my diet much but have had SLIGHTLY more prepackaged/prepared stuff since the holidays. I'm vegan, low soy, and was gluten free (my issues not his) from the time he was 4 months until about 2 months ago. He is eating some solids (BLW) but not tons... so besides more prepackaged foods (tofurky slices and soy nuggets, for example), our diet hasn't changed....
ETA: He just woke up and he is all raspy and mucousy and sneezing a lot as well.
