So my little man has yet another ear infection. I'm stumped and tired. He laughs one minute then cries the next and unfortunately its that cry that after about 30 seconds wears you down. I feel like a bad mom but whining and me just doesn't work. I love on him, carry him around, cuddle when he cuddles but it still continues. I have tried tylenol, motrin, and it seems like all he wants is to suck. Then I'm faced with the upset of having given up on breastfeeding. This week just hasn't been good. I just keep telling myself to take a deep breath and just breathe. I'm worried (as any new mom would be) as to whats causing the ear infection...is giving him a bottle in bed making it worse, am I not keeping him warm enough when we go outside, am I carrying home germs from work that he just can't fight off. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one answer, so we walk. When he fusses we walk; when he whines we walk; when he just wants to cuddle we walk because right now that seems to be the only thing that keeps us both happy.
This too shall pass...
