poor little muffin

Ugh, ugh ugh. Poor Junebug is sick again. His very first fever. Mr. E is rocking him and I am in the only room in the house that gets cell phone reception, hoping that the advice nurse calls us back at some point.

It just came on so fast. 1 pm, he was a cheerful happy baby. 2 pm, he was quietish. 3 pm, he was sleepy. 4 pm, he was crying too hard to nurse.

It's been a nice weekend until now.

ETA: Ear infection. Getting the amoxicillin now. :/ Wasn't breastfeeding meant to help with this sort of thing?

(hug) I hated that.

You can also ask your pediatrician for "otic drops" which are topical painkillers you can drip in his ear canal. It is unpopular at first, but works wonders.
