Grumpy baby

Elle's going back to daycare this morning. Fever gone, but crankiness remains. Soothing doesn't help much, whereas diversion seems to work for a short period. Oh, the frustration of the more we try to calm her down, the more she pushes us away, screaming and twisting her body like a snake in our arms! We have never seen such a quick change in temperament side of her. She'll go from laughing one second to hysterics the next. We know she does not feel well and frustrates for some reasons. It could be a troubled stomach, ear infection, teething, a combination of all of the above or who knows what! It's truly a guessing game now.

The phobia of feeding her comes back to us again. Feeding involves lots of arm-wrestling, coaxing, and diversion. It's real hard for us to let go when she doesn't feel like eating at all, for the whole day. We try to hang in there, lighten up a bit and try not let her erratic behavior drive us over the edges.
